After a year of collecting, I can look back at my showroom and proudly say I ain't done too bad really. I'm poor, lost for space and forever wanting more buy hey - if I had all that, I'd be pretty darn boring to talk to. I started with touring and rally cars and gradually moved towards buggies. This change in direction has resulted in a more vintage outlook and an interest in manufacturers such as Kyosho and Associated. While they're certainly my current trend and probably will be for sometime, the Tamiya's are going no where. They've served me and my education well. Tamiya also make a manual like no one else, which you cannot fully appreciate until you try re-assembling anything made by Schumacher. I would also like to throw out a big thanks to Andy (Monty), for without his help in bringing half my collection to life, I'd never have such a colourful line up. THANK YOU MAN!
Away from collecting, I run our family business Internet shop and eBay sales 7 days a week. As eBay so gracefully put it, I am 'a pillar of the PowerSeller community'! I also dabble in the world of IT as a PC builder.
Nothing in my collection is for sale. However, those able to obtain back stages passes to meet Joss Stone are welcome to any car they like!! I've missed this opportunity twice now so I'm hoping third time lucky!
