Progress - now even more visible

I´ve tried to find out how to see what progress I make in a simple and quick way. And what could be more fitting and suitable for such a task than a progress bar?


So let´s try it!

The sequel

Yeah, this is when you get to know what happened after the cliffhanger that I ended my last post with!

So I got another package with the mail the other day.

 It looks like... maybe two cars?

But wait a minute? Isn´t that...?

 No, not THAT one! Cute, but the OTHER!

Yeah! No??? What?!?! Flash AGAIN? What´s wrong here?


Well... the simple truth is that I got carried away. Overexcited. When I was bidding on the first Falsh on e-bay I got scared, thinking I maybe shouldn´t get it. So I started placing bids on another one as well. Naturally I got both.

But this one was a bargain! The first one costed me USD 86,50 but this one I gor for only 80 bucks!

Still. It´s my second most expensive car. By far.

And. Even more fun. (For you readers that is). I´ve been following this swedish web-site www.playlek.se and subscribed to their newsletter about Flash. Now they finally got some copys to sell. And they offered me one since I´ve subrscibed so early. The price? USD 75 (that includes shipping).

But I think two is enough, right? (And YES, I now, I could have got one for 75 dollar instead two for 166,50...)

The GOOD THING is that... I can now open one of them: (And still have one in mint condition, never opened, soon-to-be-worth-a-millon!)

The other good thing, which my friend Tom pointed out, is that now when I got two of them, both my kids can have one. When they get the collection. If they ever will...

Yeah, I goth this one too!

State of the matter

This is a status report from my garage.  I´ve reached the somewhat respectable number of 130 cars in my collection. Mostly race cars from the first and second film, but also a lot of pittys and quite a few hard to gets.

In my first cabinet I´ve got my cars from the first movie. And some lights. From IKEA. (Yes it´s Sweden folks!)

The second cabinet contains my Cars 2-diecasts. And the Dinoco team with chief, 3 pittys and the King.

Comin´up: A second surprise by US-mail. But this one is crazy... And stupid... And... totally... adorable! It will be here in just a couple of days. I´ll write more then!

(Love those cliffhangers!)

New Lemon

Got it at the mall. Felt good. Lovely made diecast. Good night!

Rare Models!

Check out these cars in  my collection - they are the jewels in my... locker.. in my... garage...
Well. Check it out anyway!

Superovanlig* package arrived today

After weeks of crusin´ all Stockholms toy stores and surfin´ all Swedens Cars diecast selling pages (1) - I had enough. I bought my self a brand new car on Ebay. Thank you all you American people with too many Flash out there! 63,50 US dollars + 13 USD for shipping made a total amount of 76,50 USD.

A bargain. Or not. It is by far the most expensive car in my collection. I paid 40 USD for the Lightning Storm McQueen SD and 63 for Gask Its Rubber Tires (yeah - that was plain stupid. I don´t know why I did that but it seemed right at the time. No. I wasn´t drunk. Just stupid.)

 

But this time it sure feels right. No. I´m not drunk.
Conclusion: I need to be drunk more often.
Question: How are you all 3999 other feeling out there with your copy of Flash? Are you drunk often enough? Or just high on a Superovanlig* diecast?

*) Super Chase (SUPEROVANLIG) vehicles are limited to no more than 4000 units produced. (That´s what it sais on the backside of the card.)

Keeping track of madness

In order to keep track f my collection I added a new area on this blog: CARS - all my diecast cars will be displayed on this page with plenty of footage and some basic info.
You´ll find the page in the navy bar in the upper left corner as well.
Tonight I´ve been adding som Radiator Springs-cars. This page will grow, but this is all for now.

Plus. I have a nice surprise coming up. How´s THAT for a cliff hanger!?
