Good for you, Steve!  I got mine a couple of years ago.  In a box somewhere!

Oh-oh,

I think that this was what my wife was thinking about when she said I might get
another bike for Christmas...

Yeah, I got one, too!  Our friend Will from England sent it to me a couple of years ago, except mine is red!  (One of these days, I'll get around to putting it together!)

Where do you get those models?  That would be fun to put together........in my "spare" time   ::) .  Well, maybe I'd give it to someone else to put together.   :-/  But I'd love to get one anyway.

I snagged mine off e-Bay, they come up from time-to-time.  One I bought a couple of years ago was from  m.durrant@tesco.net , but don't know if this still any good or not...  He sold on e-Bay as biggles1977.

Yeah, i got mine on eBay.  Seems it came from AU or somewhere in the south Pacific.

OK, as I was saying, I thought I was doing OK until I visited this guy's website:

http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Lane/5750/bmwtoypage.html





Check out his site!  He's been to a lot of places, and has an intersting account of his travels to boot!  [smiley=wink.gif]  He has quite a few Beemers, as you can see in this pic from his site!
