Hi Fraser looks like you share the same yellow blood as all of us plant nuts on here - tell us - do you collect any brochures or models etc? :P

Hi - sorry for the slow reply, I've been learning to ski with 99 teenagers in France for the last week!

I'm not a big collector, although my fianceé accompanied me to a vintage tractor show back in the summer and bought me a Corgi JCB 3CI, which now sits on a bookcase in our living room. She really is quite tolerant!

I had tons of models when I was young, which are still in my parents loft - an Ertl Ford 555A being my favourite. It is really well worn now though, but I loved it, even though I wished it was not a centre mount and that the legs were stronger so it would hold the body up. I used to put a lego brick underneath and pretend it was lifted up.
