Who sent that anyway? Good sense of humor there.

I am pretty sure I know it it was, but no proof, they made up a return address. Either way, I sincerely thank whoever it was.

Judging from Pierre's own words (going back and reading a bit), I deduce it was that same jeep driving frenchman who sent that package. Elementary, once you look over the facts, my dear chap! He called you a "Big Mutha," and sent you a "Big Mutha...Q.E.D. Nice car too. Would love to find one of those.

Thats who I was thinking. My fellow Jeeper buddy from upstate NY. :wave:

And that is definitely one big mutha, I can't see how they classify it as 1:64.

OK it is still a RAOK but it also ties in with my love of Geography (The subject that I teach) I recieved a 1/34 VW Police bug in the mail today. It came in a box from China....As far as I know there are no HT members in China. Somebody is messing with me! The return address is from a wholesale shipping company in China. I'm soooooooo confused! Whoever sent the VW Thank You it is very cool! Also your method of shipping and hiding your identity is very cool! I'm impressed and very confused.....:wave:

Ok I have to ask . Is this not the same idea that a former member had then was cancelled ? I'm not starting anything here , I just seems pretty darn near the same thing.
Both are really good idea and fun to read , but why is one ok and another not ??

I have no idea what or who you are talking about, this was just a whim on my behalf, PM me with more info on what you are talking about.

Chris, didn't I tell you I would find a way to get the police inside that vault you live in? Gerald's RAOK day gave Sgt. Friday the perfect way to do it...plus a little mailing via China didn't hurt...hehe!

Glad it arrived safely :wave:

I thought I'd never find out where it came from! It is on my desk at work and that is where it will remain for the school year! Everyday reminding me of a ROAK from a good friend! THANK YOU!

You're welcome, Chris. I purchased a BWF Batmobile from that company in China a while back and saw the bug...only I thought it was 1/64 scale (the Batmobiles had sold out, or you probably would've ended up with one of those as well). I was going to send you one for Christmas. Then when ROAK day came up, I thought I would send it early. Only when I went back to the site, I saw it was 1/32 scale. I wasn't sure you collected larger scale bugs, even though I sent you one last Christmas. It looked pretty cool in the picture, so I followed the rule of "If I wouldn't mind having one myself, hopefully Chris will feel the same." Besides, I had just written that post about sending the police into your vault, and coundn't resist :rolleyes:

Good rule to go by and the Vault is still secure. The Bug is at work!:woohoo:

Aloha All,
Sorry for the delay, but I had to get alot of things done last week. I got a RAOK from Mudslinger and wow it is great. Just about knocked me over. How did he know I am into Imports and White Lightnings no less. Thanks Joe for the great and generous RAOK. Mahalo goes out to Gerald also for setting all of this up. Thanks again and Happy Hunting All....................:thumbsup:
