My boss saw my mini car show on my desk and said that he was going to bring his Hotwheels that he's had since he was a kid in the late 60's. They are a little rough but he played with them a lot obviously, who didn't. The McLaren F1 GTR he received when he was the general manager of a BMW dealer. Not sold in stores, not sure what it's worth. The Jaaaaaag XJR-9's he received when he was the general manager out at Barrett Jaguar Ferrari Maserati in San Antonio TX. He then was the general manager of Ferrari of Houston for a good long while before coming here to the Volvo side of my dealer.

I'm no expert, but they look to be in decent shape for being that old. I'm loving that Continental!

My mom barely knows where she is, never mind where some toys from 20 years ago are stashed away. I keep telling myself every time I go back home that I have to spend at least a day going through the piles of stuff thats in storage.

Yeah, I know. I've only seen one in person, and it was missing one of the boards.

Sad, really. Makes me happy to see one in this great of condition.
