We can share what we got, at first I was going to stagger shipping, but figured it would be cooler to get all them out at once,
I got the monster hauler from Gearbuster (ok, I didn't "get" it, I took it, lol).
It was a toss up, there was about 7 cars I could not choose from, Sethie did have the deciding vote.

What did you get??

My exchange was a bit tardy, thanks to The wonderful postal service, but was very well worth the wait!!! For as many reasons as you can possibly think of, he has been officially nicknamed "cheese doodles"!!! Awesome build Doba, and yes, it does navigate my track, clears all overpasses ( I was worried) and top heaviness isn't an issue. He does stray from his slot at higher speed, but usually stays upright. I'm thinking a longer pin is the easy fix.

Thank you so much Ed for this awesome exchange!! I had a blast!!! Thank you again Tom S for the sweet '55 and I already have plans for it!!! Here's one last look at "Cheese Doodles"!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::woohoo:

"Thanks Bob! :thumbsup:
I got the HOT Hooter mobile. I was udderly amazed at the paint job. (did I hear that somewhere before?):lol::lol: This will get rode hard in with '69 stock car class. At this time I would like to thank Ed for putting this all together, this was a blast; Tom for the pearl 55 bow tie special, not just for me, but for everyone; Bobzilla's workshop of horrors(it's a bloody good shop); Sparky at UnderDog race shop, Big AL, my driver; Hooters, Holly Farms, Goodyear, Tyco, STP, and most of all....my dad, for leaving that book titled 'The Way Things Work' on top of his toilet when I was a kid. This book inspired me at 9 years old to take my magnatractions apart and put them back together to see how they worked. I hope when I have kids, they find the same fascination and joy in slot cars that I have.
Thank you."

the 55 is a sweet bonus, and the Schlitz Plymouth is cool (win43/jerry? thanks!)

the boys decided do so some street rodding and went up into the local hills.

they ran into some bad weather and had to turn back. lucky for them, cause there was trouble over the next hill.

so they went back and hit the track!

Hoo-hoo

This here is a story about Billy Joe and Bobby Schlitz
Two young hot rodders with nothing better to do
Than sit around the garage, customize cars, and go street racin’
And here's what happened when they decided to cut loose

They headed up to Snoqualmie Pass
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe crashed his 55 in the snow while racing Bobby Schlitz for pinks
and Bobby Schlitz took the pinks and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo

Go on, take the pinks and run
Go on, take the pinks and run (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Go on, take the pinks and run
Go on, take the pinks and run (hoo-hoo-hoo)

Billy Mack is a Gargoyle livin’ near the Pass
His gang includes Snow Leopard and Space Ranger
He ain't gonna let those two out of his clutches
He and his gang makes their living robbin’ travelers

Bobby Schlitz, woah-oh-ho, he slipped away
Billy Joe got away and caught up with him the very next day
He got his pink, hey, you know there still buddies
They headed to the track and they're still racing' today, singin'

Go on, take the pinks and run
Go on, take the pinks and run (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Go on, take the pinks and run (ooh lord)
Go on, take the pinks and run (hoo-hoo-hoo)

Yeah, yeah
Go on, take the pinks and run (yeah, yeah)(hoo-hoo-hoo)
Go on, take the pinks and run (ooh lord)
Go on, take the pinks and run (yeah, yeah)(hoo-hoo-hoo)
Go on, take the pinks and run (ooh lord)

That baby is a Main Force Police "Pursuit special"....her real name is "Black On Black"...But it's most popular name is the "mad max interceptor"....

Last of the supercharged V8 interceptors.....

http://www.madmaxmovies.com/cars/mad-max-interceptor/index.html

She is sitting on a shiney new Super G+ chassis that has been lightly broken in and tuned...

She's not as pretty as the other cars sent...but she is unique..and will but the fear of max in T-jets...

Gonna get you bronze!

Merry Christmass!
