Well Net, glad to hear that you won't quit collecting once and for all..that's the spirit! Cheers!

Nice bro. Thanks

Ish, terkena juga.. Jahat betul mr.demon..

totally agree on this..

So bro netmatrix, did the father bought the school bus? BTW, how does a collector looks like? We have a few parents here as collector as well. How can we decide a person we randomly met while browsing thru HW is a collector or not? Can I say a grandmother whom I met while browsing on MB cars is buying it for the purpose of reselling them? I believe we all do came accross all kind of ppl when goin hunting right? These 'ppl' could be buying as a gift as well, right? What I'm trying to make it clear here is we cannot make simple judgement against a person whom we randomly just met. Whether one can/cannot buy what one desire for what ever reasons. Rich kids buying expensive toys? That's just so wrong! Yes they can afford to buy expensive-bigger toys, but they can't enjoy cheaper toys too? It doesn't mean that they are rich so they can't save $$$ as well. Not every rich thinks the same.. What good do one get having so much money, but cannot enjoy life? Money is not the answer to everything! What do I get by envying my friends who is drivin/riding to college when I myself took a 2hrs bus ride daily? What good do I get knowing that now I'm driving my own car to work and some dudes still driving their sport car which was a gift from parents? Satisfaction bro. One could continue envy and achieve nothing but more whining, but one could as well stop envy and start doing something! From parents' point of view, I do not think it was b'coz of 'kiasuism' but more to trying to provide the best to their children. The father could be buying a beemer 3-series for the son after considering various aspect like the comfortness, built quality, safety, etc.. U can stop collecting HW and start new collecting hobby. But can u stay away from hoarders? I can't! Amulets, stamps, CDs, etc..it's all the same.. To me, u shld do what u feel like u want to do. Collect what u like and don't waste ur time/energy & stress urself thinking abt wht others do. You know y u had picked up this hobby! So cheer up bro!

Wow great haul! Any photo on the 4x4 Jeep Wrangler black/red?

It's still a hobby to all of us man..we collect the cars that we like right? And it happen that some cars are highly sought after by collectors resulting it to be hard to find. The father could be a collector himself. He could be taking/buying the extra for many other reasons. It could use trade/swap or even sell to other collectors. But b4 buying it for himself, he could be asking the son juz to make sure that the son really don't want the car?? My concern is why shld we be bothered by his action? I mean, u alr let the car go since u don't want it, right? No regrets? Unless u had been thinkin abt it 'value' urself..It sad to me to hear how u felt but u r the one who triggered it. I won't deny that I sometime was caught up in similar situation as well - to buy it for its value or to buy it bcoz i like it? Unless if someone had told me to help to look for it, i won't buy it. So chilled up bro and let's enjoy the hobby. If someone decided to hoard it, let them be. It's not the end of day if we miss the model that we want so much, right? Hardwork always pay, and the joy u felt after u had found it can't be describe by words only.. I gotta agree that the CTR is HTF. But other models are quite ez to score bro. The MB white Subaru police car, dark green 911 GT3 & black viper are ez to get during the 7-11 promo in April, and still ez to score nowadays..

Bro GCW, a hole was cut out on the side of the pail. You can refer to bro Rayz-HWC's post above. He already detailed out the steps as well. Happy shooting the photos!

Thanks for the photo bro! It's the method mentioned by bro Rayz-HWC.

Yup, MJ = Metrojaya. The qombee was at MJ BB outlet actually, but fellow forumer danielh reported that it was no longer there by yesterday eve.

Nice score!

TQ bro! Will try to POS more frequent from time to time..
