Is it me, or are there a bunch of people in here who are confessing to collect random tat who don't have kids (Thom excepted, IIRC)?

I do think collecting anything obsessively (hundreds of model cars in cabinets would count as obsessively to me) is more than a bit mental and points to deeper seated issues.

At least Nick plays with his little metal figures and with his wife, which is quite impressive.  Maybe Wayne does play with his little vans, I don't know, but I do now have a mental image of him painstakingly lining them all up along the side of the road, then riding past them on his single speed bike, laughing at them being stuck in traffic.  :grin:

I know some odd things pass as entertainment in the West Country though.... I've lived there.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

I was impressed as well, she's more into the painting side as she finds it relaxing but she enjoys the games as well (but only if she wins lol).

the only hobby i have now is running my modified car club and my 2 cars, its all about cars for me now

being a typical lad, i loved cars and football, my football interest its dropping away now, qualified to level 2 fa coaching, dont pursue that anymore as i lost all confidence, was part of a sunday league team, left that, dont go on football websites either, dont watch football, dont even go to watch footbal

when i was a kid i collected matchbox toy cars, hated hot wheels, american crap! :angry: lol oh, and lego, but sold most of it on the car boot, any lego i had left over was still in my moms loft which ive now give my little girl

the matchbox cars though, i discovered white spirit in our shed when i was a kid, found a lighter, and me and my mate decided to melt them, lol, anything left over was also sold on the car boot

Gears or no gears (I thought single speed was THE thing to have - you are SUCH a fickle child) you're not denying that you've lined them up and ridden past the 'traffic'.

That's VFM right there.
