Box opening videos that drone on and on with boring narration and no particular purpose, except perhaps for the You Tuber making them to get enough views to start making some money. Do I sound cynical?

First off I would have most of the money deposited in a number of off shore and Swiss bank accounts. Can't have the tax man arriving with a swag bag can I? Having retained some fun money from it a nice luxury place with panoramic sea or lake views, a couple of classic cars (one of which would have to be a Rolls) and a newish Lexus runabout would be my main purchases. When the grim reaper comes to call, all the assets would have been consolidated into trusts to lawfully avoid tas that would be water tight for named recipients.

Maybe Italeri might be tempted to do a works Metro 6R4 to add to their 1/12th scale rally cars. Now that would be nice! Night Owl said that he would like to see those old Esci/Italeri Mk2 Escort kits sent to purgatory and retools done. Well then Night Owl there is an alternative made by C1 Models in the UK worth having a look at.

I can remember the 1/32nd scale table top classics being quite nice kits. The Pyro Auburn Speedster in 1/25th scale was a kit I acquired recently. Quite disappointing, so might cannibalize it to make some sort of retro rod from it.

Very nice concept car model. As it is a car, what is it doing in the all the rest section?

All will soon be revealed !

What has that poor guy let himself in for? Husband? No, madam's servant ! Looks like some lawyer will make some profit as a divorce won't be far down the line!

Very good show by the looks of it. I visited Victoria B.C. a few years back and thought what a lovely capital city to live in or near. Thought that Vancouver was a nice city too, although a bit more cosmopolitan whereas Victoria was more traditional looking.

I have found that owners of classic cars tend to warm to model makers who show a genuine interest. Looks like you struck up a good rapport with that particular owner Les.

Very interesting motor Les. Anyone up for converting Airfix 's big Bentley kit? Lots of scope here for the converter/scratch builder. Engine bay particularly and this car featured looks like a long wheelbase version.

It it ain't tariffs or inflated EBay seller's prices the car company bean counters will get you with their licencing fees on kits. LOL. I'm not desperate enough to pay well over the odds for any kit. Plenty of alternatives out there to build.

It would appear that all postal services and parcel delivery couriers operate excellent 'Crush a Kit' services as a free bonus with their deliveries.

In the UK a company named Kit Form Services has some very nice pinstripe decals. Besides the lines each sheet has L shaped corner pieces in different sizes and various corner radii.

Many town corporations in the UK used to operate their own bus fleets with their own distinctive coloured iveries. The new UK Stagecoach colours mentioned by the OP look ok to me. Stagecoach is a fleet of buses and coaches that operate nation wide in the UK as does the rival National Express fleet and Arriva.

Les (Stitchup) mentioned in an earlier post that buy and sell might need to be a premium paid up feature to avoid scammers. A UK site allows buying and selling but only after signed up site members have contributed 100 posts or more. Xingu mentioned it being discussed shout only leaving the wanted part of the market place free to use, and the kit and bit disposal part a fee paying tier. Not sure how that would either pan out or how users will react to it?I From what I can gather the execs have lots to discuss this weekend, and it will be interesting to learn what decisions will be made, and how people react to them afterwards. I guess the final decisions will need the site owner's approval whoever that may be.
