Three weeks after Christmas, I today received a Secret Santa package from someone I know was being kind-hearted and stepped in where the original SS failed.
Our own Boogievanman.
B sent me a nice little package that got thoroughly inspected and mangled by some super duty Customs Inspectors (not really a matter of whether it was theirs or ours, I'd say they BOTH got their big mitts on this package!).
Inside were a handful of BWF Hot Wheels, as well as a '69 Super Bee from Classic Gold, and the Auction Insanity GN - which, oddly enough, I had never come across and was badly needing . The cards were somewhat mangled, as our boys in blue weren't nearly as cautious in packing as Booger was, but they have a special place in my collection non the less.
What came next was simply too good to be true.
Three one of a kind BWF customs by the Boogieman!
There was a "Zingerized" '66 Goat and 442, as well as a "Spoiler-ized" 57 Chevy Nomad. Now, before you ask the inevitible question, allow me:

While the pic doesn't show it, all three of Brent's customs suffered damage at the hands of the customs folks, who look like they rolled these cars around on the floor for a while - on their roofs! All three had some sort of paint damage on their roofs, the worst being the '57 Nomad. The 442 actually lost its cowl, as well.
Fear not, BWF lovers. We here at the Carnut Johnny Lightning Museum and Bar & Grill BWF Wing hope to use our resources by contacting the Dadvball Zingerizer Restoration Company - who have done some great BWF/Zingerizing work for us in the past - to possibly work their magic in returning these beauties to the condition B. originally shipped them out in. :thumbsup:
In spite of being disappointed that several HT members got stiffed in the Secret Santa deal this year, I'm proud that many many HT members stepped in to correct the oversights and "save the day".
Thank you Brent, and kudos to all of you. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
