You wouldn't want those cars. I've even found pleasure in DRIVING the Lola. Since the value of cars doesn't amount to a can of beans anymore, I may
even take the Porsche and the Ferrari's virginity!!!!

It seems like a pretty good problem to have there Bill. I wish I had to many cars & didnt know what to do with them. Hows about starting a new draw? Then
you can buy more cars!!

I've found that doing that creates a larger problem Greg. The drawers come in sets of 3. Each drawer holds 10 cars. I have a problem looking at EMPTY
drawers! LOL If you click the link in my signature for my slot car site and go to "The Cars of
December" you'll notice I bought 19 new Ford GTs and GT40s to help fill 2 drawers. If you check out "The Cars of January" you'll find I bought 9 more Ford GTs and GT40s along with 7 Lister Storms to fill
anoter GT40 drawer and a Fly Lister Storm Drawer. You'll
also see a few Fly Saleen S7Rs in January's group. I needed those to fill a Drawer(41) with them.

I bought another set of Drawers which gives me a total of 57. Right now I have 19 new cars, most of them NIB with a couple nice "runners" like the
#6 GT40 and the Sideways DP. I have to find the proper Drawer for these guys. At the moment they're sitting in 2 "random" Drawers waiting for the
old foggy brain to kick into gear. I also have 12 more cars on the
way or that will be here in about a week.
Seems like everybody was selling the #s 24 and 48 NASCARs

Very nice additions....it's also nice to see that others have it as bad as I do....although you're much better organized.
Why the doubles/triples though....repaints, great deals, just like em that much, or.....? |

I'm sittin here with smoke coming out of my ears....take M3s out of Drawer3, Put 3 Fly Lola T70s and either 2 Porsche 517Ks or 2 Ferrari 512s in there.
Start a new "M3" Drawer with the M3s because there are more coming. Sideways DP into Drawer 18, Fly Ferrari 250 & NIB Scaley 250 to Drawer 7, 2
Scaley Ferrari 330 P4 runners to New "runner" drawer. Resin, 55 & 57 Chevy Stockers to Drawer 55, #s 24, 48 and Truxmore Ford to somewhere in the
7 NASCAR Drawers. Then there's the LMPs, Slot Its, Ninco Porsches......

Well the empty Drawer that I had other plans for turned into my new "Hot Rod" Drawer thanks to Bruce's sale at CincySlots!!! Now I have to look
for good prices on the other Willys I don't have and the Hot Rods I like that I'm missing. The 57 Chevy will be leaving once I find them. 3 of these
are Digital but I'll be removing the chips from them if I find somebody looking for them.
You'll also notice that my Big Red Camaro arrived and sits in one of the "Holding" Drawers waiting for me to move it to it's new home.

I got a few of the new cars moved around this afternoon. Most important was getting the Fly lola T70 MK3Bs together. There were 2 extra spaces after I moved
the M3s out so I put my 2 Porsche 917 Ks with them. Probably be looking for 2 more Lolas! LOL

I've been running 2 of them, the Yellow Lola and White Porsche. Both are fast and smooth!!! I've started running a few of my "former" NIB
cars. I figure with their value shot to hell and with me not getting any younger, why not? I'm still playing alone but who cares?

I updated my 4th Slot It Drawer. I removed some Ford GTs and a Ferrari 512 from this drawer to make room for a couple new Slot It Porsches. This is my 2nd
Newman and my 1st Canon. Looks like I'm going to have to get in touch with bruch and order the white #23 Nissan R390 and move the yellow Ferrari out of the
Drawer too.

I worked on 11 Drawers yesterday including adding 3 new ones. I have a couple drawers of cars to rearrainge yet and still have 11 more cars on the way. Here
are the Drawers I did yesterday. 13, 17, 21, 47, 52, 53, 54, 57, 58, 59, 60
Chances are this will be my last post in this thread. Seems as though interest has dwindled and those who are interested know where my Drawers Page is. Thread Views 3472 |

Hi Bill,
I hope you keep us updated on this thread or new ones as you add stuff. My life is so busy that HRW is one of the few websites I make it a point to stay on top of....and I've certainly enjoyed watching your drawers fill out and continue to grow. It's a level of organization I'll never achieve....a side benefit being to keep SWMBO as in the dark as possible on the actual count. If I don't know it, she certainly doesn't, and her last 'estimate' was waay low. A win-win. 
Also, do you keep the original packaging for your cars, and if so, how? I have less than 200 of mine in wall-mounted display cases, and the original cases for those alone take up about 8 large plastic bins in the attic. Allen |

I have many large cardboard boxes full of the display cases for the cars. I also have pictures(on my website) of most of the cars on their bases so if anything
happens to me, it won't be too hard(other than the amount of cars)to get things right to sell them. They're all in the order I received them so are the
cases. Having a website of unlimited size has made it easy(and FUN) to do.
