Model cars, you say?

I dabbled into the hobby for a couple years and really enjoyed it. Then I had kids and don't exactly have the free time. 

Do you have some pictures of your work?

Ha ... no, wrong kind of models. I brought diecast models, tho I also have a number of dealer promos I could've brought, too.

Are your tentative plans to be in town just that one day? If not ... Saturday Cruise Nights begin 05.09.2026.
