cars left in the mail today..........I can't wait to see the responses and close up pics?

Joez- Now do I feel dumb not catching the fact of dropping a some postage money in the shipment. I don't think I'll get him the HD card either, but I am sure that he appreciates your suggestion. Ed - I'll have to make it up somewhere along the line.
Jim

Some good lookers there for sure. :thumbsup:


Ed, great idea for June, I'll play again! Dave :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Jim, don't worry about the shipping, if 4 or 5 out of 6 people didn't pay I would have been concerned. honestly, I thought you just forgot it but I had no problem with it.
one thing I enjoy more than slot cars is giving slot cars to people and seeing the happiness and joy.

Wow!!

What a great job all of you did! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I know some guys are gonna' be real happy come Xmas morn'--if they can wait that long....(Joe!)

I bet Joe was the one who always got his hand slapped for getting in the cookie jar before supper! :freak:


I wish I could of got in this with you guys, but I'm so far behind on "committed" cars-- I feel lousy just thinking about it...

Maybe the next round...


S&D--my hat's off to you for such a wonderful scheme! :) :thumbsup:



Cheers..

... Joe.....

We're all gonna wait till Christmas morning and open on the count of 3.

Are you kidding me?! My secret santa Parcel was waiting for me in my mailbox this eve and now I have to stare at it for 14 more days?! *ack*

Uhhhh...I don't think so, Scooter! :p Anyone else opening theirs?

I shook it but nothing rattled. Ed the elf packed it pretty derned good! :thumbsup:

Lets hear from you guys, eh?!

I don't mind if anyone opens them. I would love to hear the cheers early.

JOE...Open it and the hair gets it... :D :D :D
Santa crashed into my box.. :eek: ..I mean drop a box into my box... :confused:.... put a package in my mailbox today also.
The hair is distracting.. :roll:
Should I wait???? or should I open????? That is the question....
Ed what do ya say.... Leave 'um sweat it out or not??? :devil:

I also got mine today, I looked for guidence to the one who is much smarter then I, she shook her head and said "Whatever, you never listen anyways." I did the math. I leave for Holidays on the 23rd so I would be opening my goodies on the 22nd anyway.. that's only 11 days. I could do that standing on my head.. then I remembered I cut my hair last week so I look like a jar head again and have no padding.. sat down and thought some more.. a Spark ecked out one ear and set the parcel on fire..I had no choice I had to save the car! it could have been a disaster...I showed no fear and tore and tore and found that ED the magic Elf was a freakin tape lover...I was into it now.. Ed packed it so it would take 11 days to open.. ..the flames licked higher and higher, the chestnuts began to roast, soot wafted with the air currents. This being dry season in Texas I did not want to be responsible for the first 1000 acre grass fire of the season.. So ignoring the flesh peeling from my arms I plunged it through the small area I had managed to free from the deadly flames....and began to pull and save, more and more came out the pain, became either forgotten or numbness had set it as the heat snapped sinew.. ( Ok sit too long around the house fat.) But I did manage to save them. I will forward pics as soon as the redcross gets us reloacted.....

Let's savor the moment. Let's be adult about this. Take our time...

Okay ... that's enough. 1-2-Open-3.

This is so nice. I am a tjet guy who actually made a decision a few weeks ago to branch out into AFX. I can't think of a better car to start me off either. Decals are just awesome. I love it and it will hold a place of honor in my collection. Thanks Santa... (ed)... you da man! C'mon now who's next?
:) :) :)

I am not special, or magical, or under Santas payroll.
You guys did all the hard work on the cars, not me.

Will post pic tonight. Temptation got the best of me..
Sweet looking ride I found parked in the box.. :cool:
Thanks Ed for the spares(I just might get a flat running this baby) and for taking the time to do this for others. :thumbsup:

P.S. Ed, would you please put gas in the next time before parking the car.Almost didn't make it to the aurora sunoco..

Ed... You're an idea man. A good one. That's a rare commodity lately. :thumbsup: I salute you sir and thank you for the extra goodies you tossed into our stockings!!

Cat got your box cutter?

Cat got your box cutter?

Uhh...no, but I am embaressed to say that I think my cat did get my cord for loading pics to the PC for the digicam! :(
I have some nice pics but have been turning the house upside-down looking for the derned cord to make a propper post!

Well I couldn't resist. I opened up my package and was excited to see MKING's super tuned JLTO AC Cobra. It is great to have this thing in my hands and see the handiwork vs. just reading it on the board. Lots of work went into this car. Ed- I apprecaite the extra bodies, tires and you putting this together.
Jim

Well I guess I will have to post it now. My cat opened the box :rolleyes:
Must have thought it was a mouse due to the loud roar of the pipes and smoke from the tires trying to get out. :eek:
When I arose I found this super nice red hotrod sitting on the floor. Along with some extras. And no the box didn't make it. :( Super nice car. Love the wheels and car.
Santa Ed thanks for the extras. :thumbsup:
Anybody up for some british Tjet racing. :thumbsup:
Thanks for to the builder of this sweet car and a big thanks to Ed for putting this all together and the extras.
Hope all has a wonderful holiday..

PS.. The cat did do it...Honest :devil:

Awesome Idea...sorry I didnt see this earlier, I would have definately got in.

Ah well...I promise to stick around for next year... :thumbsup:

Here we GO!

This beautiful Porsche 962 was created by our very own Coach! The rich color of the orange paint is easy to follow about the track (even the dim corner). The decal work is flawless, as it the paint detail! It rides on a brand new spanking 440x2 chassis(which, by the way, already have grooves worn a bit into them from just the last 2 days of running this fine slot car. I have to say, I feel I got the long end of the stick on this swap. What a beautiful car that spends more time on my track than it does in my jebus case! Dave! many many thanks for your fine gift. :thumbsup:

Ed, once again, thank you for hosting this christmas swap deely. It was a real treat. I hope everyone has been as pleased with their new slot cars as I am with mine! :thumbsup:

Seasons Greetings to all!

Ed,
Yes another big thanks for all of your efforts! Will try to post pix of my newest addition later this evening. :thumbsup: rr

from gearbuster

thanks! this was a fun exchange!

Ho Ho Ho.. finally got around to checking I built the new puter right and was brave enough to plug my sd card out of the camera in it..lol.. (thats how I checked does it go boom opps..)...Wanted to share the awesome lowboy I got from Joez in the xmas exchange...Now I had a really rough time taking this pic and thats because Joe put such a awesome shine on the car. in the pic in is sitting at the soon to be front straight at Arrowhead motor speedway..After the track is tested and cleaned this Car will be the first offical car to go through the lap timer! So Joe rest assured this puppy will be in the record books for a while anyways till Carol puts a light bender on the track and makes me look foolish.. lol... I love the details on this car even the drivers mask is detailed you can see his eyes peering out at you daring you to put up pink slips. I have a highboy I haven't completed and plan on running them as a set someday.. Thanks again Joe I truely love the work you put in this car and look forward to many hours of racing and sliding around the track with it.. Now the moment all have been waiting for.. I present.. ......

Hey Santa Daddy(Ed), How fun. What a great thing! I'm sorry I was not really up to speed for this years exchange. This strikes me as the beginning of a wonderful new HT slot tradition. Very Cool! BH
