nice! i have the F1 car my buddy gave me a few years back. luv
the techniq (sp?) series. i have a loader, digger, toetruck, etc etc

im still looking for the large backhoe that was once popular several
years ago. it had plastic treads on the catepillar, etc. i might get
their latest digger as xmas present to myself.


believe it of not, ive been practicing playing my keyboard every
morning since sunday. slushy outside = no motoring MCS = practice
playing an instrument.

We had a great trip up to Alberta. Got to "drive" around the mountains in a yaris YUC. Oh well, we had a great time, and I could care less about following behind gravel trucks.

It, the yaris, was uncomfortable to sit in, was about as quick as snot frozen on a rock, handled like a shoebox, had a crappy defroster, 2 maybe 3 buttons to push, but it got not bad gas mileage, and like I said, gravel trucks were not an issue, no matter how close they are

So... I'm guessing you didn't detail that Yaris before you gave it back, Mark ??

It was not overly detailed when we got it. But I did manage to cover up the swirls in the black paint with an even coating of road slop
