Hello Oppo, I'm back.

Or, I'm still here but I'm actually posting something. And by something, I mean Chasing Die-Cast Cars which is a weekly (I hope?) attempt by yours truly to attempt to try and summarize the latest Hot Wheels (and etc) posts made b you, my fellow die-cast addicts and Opponautohaulics.

In the name of getting on with things (the same phrase, by the way, my wife uses to describe my, not our, sexual adventures) I'll be about the business of getting down to business (also a phrase common to the boudoir, context withheld). Thus, in no particular order of chronology or importance, here are some links with words'n stuff to go with:

Welcome to Chasing Die-Cast Cars , a frequent installment where I will try to update and gather all the recent Die-Cast related posts and discussions with special attention to those participating in the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

( Please note that regardless of the title, we're open to all sorts of die-cast discussion no matter the brand, scale or your style of collecting, trading and and possibly zipping around your living-room floor!)

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and it looks like COQUI70 has started the 12 step program - but the question remains; has he started down the path to recovery or just to greater sickness? No mention of The Exchange Program but, we'll... there you go.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Next up, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has a full on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! post with, I might add, some tasty little tasties to be had. Dibs on dibs! Haha!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Chase is tempting $kay with some #$kaybait in this post of big wheeled, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and I think the bait has been taken.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Luca is a Canadian, just like me (and we're sorry) who, just coming home and having been awake for way too long, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! instead of checking in immediately at the nearest Tim Hortons with hockey stick in hand. (PS, Luca since we're both Canucks here, I gotta know - you trade? We should trade.)

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Another thing about Luca? I hate you for !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . But I love you for reasons too.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

MyCarNeverRuns87 showed off a rack of cars for sale that I'd have bought all of and showcased it all with one of my favorite cars of ever and all historical history; !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! which I'd totally sell your, the readers, soul for.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

EuroDAN thinks !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! but I hadn't the heart to tell him, so I offered trades. I'm kidding, of course, about everything except the trade because I WANT THAT SKYLINE! Ahem...

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Chase is also embracing the addiction with !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and it's pretty much a must-scroll post because, I'm just guessing here, Chase is come on get up and get down with the sickness.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Then again, ROUNDBADGE is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! some great and wonderful goods. If I weren't busy making this post, I'd be offering up trades. So, if you read this and go offer a trade on something I want, but missed because I'm doing you this favor, I will find you. I WILL FIND YOU!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

CRZSRN told us about his pending visit to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and, well, here's the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! captured in all its disturbing glory.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

And then there is Trunk Impaired 318 who, I believe, may have forgot how to couch, drink and possibly walk given !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Frosted !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! despite all of us knowing better - it never stops, but like herpes, sometimes goes into quiet remission.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

DOOMZ talking about !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! I wish Opponauts were having more often than we are because, as awesome as the ubiquitous "Let's call everything a Hot Wheel" attitude is, there are a lot of wicked cool brands out there which we don't talk about often enough. Also, because you jerks who can buy Tomica in stores never fucking trade with us who can't ( dickbutt).

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

But so is REBORN PYRRHIC, so maybe just !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

In an effort to prove this sickness is the worst sickness of all sicknesses CarCrasher88 went to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in a public display of sickness. Can you trump it?

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Did I mention that Nighthawk picked up a Chevelle !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and two other cars also?

Yesterday I made a quick stop motion video for a class starring my 1998 First Editions Escort Rally car I've had as a kid.

I have that one! I think I even have a double. Those were relatively early in my collection.

I guess I am past my infatuation with toy cars. Been there, done that.

I understand that a lot of folks have not reached that point yet.

Okay, but do you have a problem with the posting of?

I mean, I get if you're not in to it, but unless you've got an issue with the content (being on Oppo) why complain about what others like?

Thank you again for putting this together sir, lots of time indeed.

My only regret is that a great many still go missed for a lack of tags.

I generally don't pay much attention to die-casts posts, they don't interest me, but don't miss Jeff Simmons' posts, like this one . Some excellent photos within.

Woops, I copied the wrong url for the link. Fixed now.

No problem with the content. Just not into that. They can post what they want. I can skip it if I want. Just a minor rant. I can post what I want and you can post what you want. Agreed?

Would you like some help on these? Caring for a 4.5 month old is not conducive to sleep, much less attempting to compile large weekly posts.

I'd have no problem with that, to be sure.

Here's my version . Thank you for letting me give it a shot! If you don't approve I'll take it down!

Jeff, that was awesome.

No, it was really excellent. I'm just so glad someone can take over for me, because it's a worthwhile and popular topic on Oppo, because I've just not had the time to keep up with those posts. My sincere apologies to those expecting more but thank goodness for you, Jeff.

10/10.
