The Other Side To The Hobby

[JasonB]

I have @DJ Dangerous to blame for this purchase. Looking at his ever growing fleet of 1:43 trucks got me curious, so I decided to indulge. I wasn't disappointed.

Ok, Dave. Just for you, and to stop you hijacking my thread. 

Let's just "pretend" I didn't send you a photo of this about a month ago   

1:18 scale DAF 3300 Space Cab. 

 

How come nobody likes your DAF??? It's out of this world. I saw several members reading your thread and nobody liked this? What on Earth is going on?

Maybe it's because you posted it instead of me. I'm so popular that I guarantee you, if I hijacked your thread with another pic, the froth would be flowing!

We both know why, Dave.

It's because you just don't carry the same literary charisma as me, your posts don't have the same sordid steamy gravitas that mine do.

Within minutes of me posting anything, even if we sometimes disagree, @Noel / @Signal Post, @Gabhal Luimnigh, @patrick and @Galteemore are reading it, and usually within another few minutes, @Westcorkrailway , @Patrick Davey, @DART8118 and @Newtoncork are in enjoying it.

Just you watch!

What did I tell you, @JasonB?

See how many members viewed your thread last night, just because you had a celebrity post from me? Was it eight in the space of ten minutes?

You'll have the regular DAF lovers like @murphaph, @MOGUL and @Rob in over the next few days, too.

I should start charging for my influence, but take this one as a freebie.

You had to bring that up again, didn't you.

Definitely a guilty pleasure - have all the Oxford 113/143's - even the stobart ones, but these are for the workshop only....

1:18 scale SCANIA 143 Streamline  

[DJ Dangerous]

Absolutely stunning photo realism!

Is it a plastic body on a metal chassis?

Some amount of welding in that chassis if so.

Great stuff!

[DJ Dangerous]

Just devine.

These 1:18 trucks are something else!

Scaniaaaaaaaa!!!!!

[DJ Dangerous]

I see two new fans of these 1:18 trucks lurking!

I don't blame you, @LNERW1 and @Tarabuses, they are out if this world, and having seen some in the flesh, the photos don't do them justice.
