baby you can drive my car (n+1)(n+1) and another 1


It's so long ago since I was doing the series on cars I've owned that I have quite forgotten whether I had covered all them - as represented by models in collection - or not.

But as I have got lucky with two new models ordered over Christmas (including a replica red Peugeot Mi16 bought from un homme in la belle France and for which I eagerly await, I thought I would regale my reader(s) with a picture of part of the current collection.
The ones on the top shelf are models of cars I've actually owned, the others are of models I considered signifcant Aussie cars in real life.
It gives me much pleasure (as the joke used to go) and I love the smell of the cabinet they're in. This is important. I sniff it often.

That's a fabulous idea, particularly the top shelf. I bet the cabinet has that new car smell.

I have all of the cars I've owned on carsales.com.au favourited so I can check out how much they're fetching these days.

My FIAT 124 Sport might have been a complete lemon, but when it was running well...beautiful!

I should do that too - what avlue a 1956 Morris Isis, with only 12000 of them 'made'?

The cabinet smells of old wood but l like that too.

So you're the long lost brother of that former cabinet sniffer, Troy Buswell.
