Hey folks - back from vacation and I honestly didn't have a "chance one" to hunt for any MINI/Minis while we were out Of course the place we were at didn't have internet or cable, heck it didn't even have a TV. Love roughing it on a lake

Back in the game rested and relaxed.

Rob, it arrived while we were away and everything is fantastic, thanks again

Good deal! BTW, I didn't have a chance to get them out before we left, I hope to get them out this week. I also saw where you found the Austin - cool

 

I finally have some new MINIs I can post!

First are most of my new items. I recently got the banner, the new Matchbox MINI, some Sikus(gold, BRG/W, EB/UJ), a New South Wales MINI Police car, Corgi Collectible MINI, CR Cabrio, a new keychain that fits MINI fun, and a German beer company collectible.


Here is a better pic of the Franken Bräu truck with LY MINI. I hit the bonus here. Two of my favorite things: MINI and German beer.


The Corgi Collector Club 2002 Special Edition MINI.


MINI inspired keychain. There were several sayings on the traffic cones, but this one fits MINIs.


And finally, my newest Foxtons MINI. The box looks like heck, but the MINI is in mint condition.


Now if I could just get to Target for the new Hot Wheels Mini.

 

Here is the dirty red, and here is the dirty blue. They are even in Naples, FL.

BTW, I have completed my set. I will keep looking for cars for you---gotta take care of my friends.

 

ok I have extra Matchbox MINI's if anyone needs them. I have 4 right now with more coming from other people. lol! Agro do you still want one or two?

Looking Good Mishka

The key chain is very smart! Me likes, any hints on locations??

Here is the brother of your beer truck MINI:



Its the Hofbrau truck with a blue/white MINI on the trailer. The back row of cars are the Hongwell Kid Racer version from a few years ago and the wicker is the Corgi version, not sure of it's history I picked it up again a few years ago and paid close to nothing due to a broken front bumper.

Oh and here are the latest Foxton's to be on the look out for. I've seen 2 of the Horse Racing designs for sale on eBay but wasn't able to get my second mortgage pushed through in time to make a winning bid

 

The keychain came from our local Dollar General store. There were 6 or 7 different sayings, but the Dangerous Curves was the only one I felt really fit the MINI. I'll try to go back tomorrow and see if I can get more. May have to break into the piggy bank if I find more. They cost a whole dollar!

I saw the pink/blue Foxtons on eBay recently but had the same problem as you with the delay on the second mortgage.

I'm going to have to look for that Hofbrau truck now.That was one of our first stops on our first trip to Europe.

 

Cool! Dollar General is just around the corner. Well, it's close but nothing is around the corner from here........ except the Dragon.

Don't think they are lead based China stuff do you? If so I'll have to keep it up high when the G-babies visit. Like they could get over the electric fence

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rub it in.

 

Bobbie, I think I'm going to keep trying around here for another couple of weeks. If you still have them and I haven't found any by the end of the month, I'll take one (and a Super Chrome if you have a spare one of them at the time).

August 31st I fly out for a trip home to Australia. I'm going to be looking for different MINI and Mini toys while I'm there. Anyone interested in spares if I find some?

 

You can put me on that list!

 

I would like to be added to the list, please.

 

me too! only small cars though. don't have a lot of room for the bigger cars.

I went to the store today and found three more traffic cone keychains if anyone is interested in one.

 

Ooh, ooh. Count me in! You know the color! Thanks!

 

I do! I do! - How do I get one? :-)
and it's Orange!

 

I'd like a traffic cone key chain if no one has claimed the last one.

I've checked Target 3 times now for those Hot Wheel Chome Minis. I haven't come across more than 2 boxes at a time and of course they aren't Minis. Still checking in hopes of finding some.

 

haha i love this because i have one

 

Such a cute dog! I love Corgi's. If we had dogs, that would be my first choice.

 

It was a good day to be at home!

This finally arrived and it only took 52 days for surface mail from the UK Heck, didn't the Mayflower make it sooner? It's the 03 version of the Foxton series:





Also the Best of British MINIs arrived Still searching for the 01 & 05 versions of the Foxton's

 

Anyone find me a R56 DS/DS yet?

 

haha thanks, they are great dogs, i think i will go post some pics of him in the dog thread in off topic if you want to see more of Norm

 

OOh, that's a nice one. I'm going to be bidding on this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...link:middle:us

Maybe we should share our ebay names so we don't bid against each other?

 

You could bid on that one or you could wait until Tuesday and check your mail

Hmmm I'll have to think about giving out eBay names, mine might make it back to my wife

 

Oh, so that's the one! Never mind! Thanks!

 

I received my package today From Smokey. He's DA MAN!!!! I got a Foxtons MINI. thanks, Smokey.
