Space is getting tight as I have 28 Pedal Cars now and with 4 more to be collected at the start of the new year.
I am waiting for some steel shelving to help relieve the congestion.
All the wall cabinets are full with die-cast models and several book cases full of books,
There are still several Thousand Die-Cast models waiting to be put out yet.
It's becoming a parking problem.
Yep - traffic lights required. All drivers to be tested.
Excellent collection. Is that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? I am just going to collect rusty pedal cars so can leave them outside.
Hello fortapache, and happy new year to you and all our readers.
You are close with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Part of the idea came from the car but I think what gave me the trigger idea for the car was when I went in to our Toilet & Wash Room we have a boat shaped shelf unit on the wall and I thought "That's It"
For a closer look scroll back 3 postings.
Fantastic collection are the pedal cars restorations?
I see a new out building in your future won't be long this will look like the L.A. of display rooms may we all have such problems right, Toilet's and dreams birth the best of ideas.
just Wow!
Glad this came up again. We can see you smiling. Looks like a 5 o'clock Friday on the Montego Bay parade !
Hello again all, Nice to see people taking an interest still !
The congestion was eased for a short while with the introduction of 3 bays of steel shelving that held 10 cars each but now the collection is just short of 40 cars and with permission to have 4 cars on display in the living room as well.
My place is a a large ex-industrial building that has been host to many different trades over the years and I purchased it from what may be termed 'New age travellers' in 2010, The main building is 100 feet long & 60 feet wide with a 100 x 30 foot work shop down one side and living accommodation down the other side with my 'Man Cave' on the end.
above the living accommodation there is another full length room with a large collection of 'Garden Tractors' in storage.
At one end of this I have designated a area that will become the new Pedal Car Show Room.
And to go with this I have another 3 bays of shelving.
This will give me space for around 100 cars so this will take me a year or two to fill.
