in our house it's a race for space. Chloe collects Touma vinyl toys, My Little Pony and She-Ra, add that to the 15 years of stuff I've amassed and it makes it very tight on display space.
She's really cool with it all as she can relate to the hunt and the 5 second satisfaction of getting it, before you move on to the next search
However there are the occasional funny conversations of 'are you going to clear that box off the table' when in the lounge/ bathroom/ kitchen sink there will be 4 boxes of My Little Pony.
The house is small, so without it overspilling everywhere, we have agreed to turn the spare room into a small collection room. Seems to be working, but it's not finished yet

Is this some secret couple code or this is what you really do for fun together?

Alrighty LJ, I'll post pics tomorrow. just gotta find them....
Steve, yes Muton is indeed being oppressed by Stormie. Chaos indeed. I see The Baron, Stormie and Muton being a bit like Boss Hogg, Enus and Roscoe...

I'd forgotten you had been to Nurbergring. Did you see Sabine Schmitt?

Me too! Baron Hogg, overseeing the evil schemes, Sheriff Roscoe P Stormshadow implementing the schemes and the hapless Muton crashing has car into the pond, or a tree, at every opportunity!

"Gooooooood news gooooooooddd news...."

We did indeed! We were chatting to her for five minutes or so. It was shortly after she'd done that one where she was racing around in the Transit van, and she was laughing because "all you english boys seem to know of the van and Jeremy". Five minutes later, we were out on the track, driving the 205 GTi to what we thought the very limits of the car, and she power drifted past sidewards around a corner in the M5 she drives (called the "Ring Taxi" as you book to be driven around in it!), waving with one hand to us, as three businessmen looked bloody terrified in the passenger seats! Good stuff, and certainly put us in our place! She's a phenomenal driver. And she's one sexy lady!

How do you spell, "tuer, tuer, tuer?" (poor attempt I know). I have an idea for Flash

It involves a wolf recently expatriated from England.....

Now this could get to be lots of fun! Flash was always a favourite of mine! The way he manages to play the comedy straight guy to Roscoes bumbling ways, even though he's a dog, is genius! "I love it, I love it".
I was watching an old episode of the Dukes on DVD the other night, (whilst doing my ironing - I hate ironing!), and was in fits of laughter as Roscoe's car got crushed by a tank, as he proclaimed that they'd "dang scuffed my veeeehicle"!
Greatest show ever!

Yeah, I loved it too. Used to watch it every Friday night from the day it started. Dad hated it, least that's what he said - I heard him chuckle a few times.
It was probably the show I watched the most as a lad. Adventures of Superman, Battle of the Planets (of course), Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica and CHiPs, but mostly TDOH. I'm going to have to get me the series on DVD I think. I'm in hot pursuit.....

My Dad used to hate it, but now loves it! He's encouraging me to buy a '69 Charger RT (the General Lee) but it's too big for my garage, so I'm currently resisting - to buy a new hosue to fit around the car is a bit extreme.
