The very very rare ocher version of the Porsche 911 from Märklin Sprint (vintage slot car system from the late 60ies to the early 80ies). It`s on a scale of 1:32.

Very Nice. Don't often see Märklin around, but I remember a couple of bodies (240Z and a Porsche 906 I think) being converted for use on a Scalextric track back in the day. Same 1:32 scale. :)
 
SMC Takumar 55mm f1.8. My research suggests that are are among the sharper Super Taks.

@Mike Rotch : Is it with the M42 mount? And if so, is it still good when used with an adapter on a Sony Alpha 58?

So no 240Z (maybe you mixed it up with the Jaguar E-Type, which was my favourite car back in the day) - but lots of 906 aka C6 versions where available, yeah. White, red, orange, grey and green. Some as convertible and/or with front lights, too.

👍




Sorry for double post.

It is a M42 - unless you get a chipped ring mount, a plate mount it allow it to work in Manual mode only - a chipped mount may work in Av too, but I think it depends on the Alpha model as some don't work with chipped rings (i.e. just get a plate ring).

Both mounting plates have no optical glass to mess up the image quality 👍
 
Bought myself a new TV today (obviously not the one in the picture but the same model).

It's a Samsung UE55HU7505. Bought it with 5 year insurance, still got it cheaper than standard retail price.
I love my job sometimes. :sly:

Must be hell looking at the same picture all the time.


No seriously, very nice tv. 👍

I actually found it quite interesting, so many details! :lol:


Thanks, after some adjustments with the settings, I think I found the perfect one for me. Loving it so far.
 
Not my purchase, but I drove my brother to Memphis, TN (over 800 miles, round trip) to pick this up.









'10 Golf TDI, 6 speed manual, 52K miles.
Very nice car. Very common over here in Belgium.

I didn't know Americans were interested in diesels
 
Always wanted to own one as a kid, especially the AGS-101 version with the backlit screen. And the game. Ten years later, they're both in my possession, at last.

:D

👍 It's a fantastic game. Played AW2 long after the console became obsolete. Cartridge started crashing on start up though. Don't know if it has anything to do with it's battery dying.

Wish someone would port it to iOS.
 
Picked up Jazzamatazz Vol1 on CD. Also picked up the Aphex Twin record.

Needed some more organic coconut oil so got a 500ml jar and two 330ml cartons of coconut water.
 
A brand new 2015 Mustang GT on Racing Rivals which I spent my 25$ iTunes card on. *There was other stuff I bought with the card in the game but I felt like they aren't worth mentioning*
