Not just Matchbox and Corgi but Dinky as well, I think there isn't one kid in this world who has had at least one of those in their toy box, Get on Ebay at some stage and see how much some of these are going for - It really makes me wish I had taken more care of mine but who has that sort of hindsight as a nipper hey!!

Oh if anyone has a busted up Dinky Thunderbird 2 or Lady Penelope FAB1 Rolls that they may want to get rid of give me a hoy!
