Just won this one.........waiting for the postman........

Hello Jan I have just corrected my last post. For some reason, perhaps the heat in Manila, I originally wrote 'Jacques' as my introduction when in fact that post should have been addressed to you! My apologies - I do not know what I was thinking! Kind regards Bruce (150) #555

No problem Bruce, Jacques and I are quite different characters, but we get on very well! Kind regards, Jan

Crikey Jan, all those glasses for just the two of you???!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I suppose filling them with those two bottles saves having to refill your glass! Anyhow, back to the subject in hand. Together with the 965 with red hubs posted earlier, I am also waiting the arrival of my 959 Foden Dump Truck with Bulldozer Blade from the same seller in Germany. He also had the less common version with red hubs, and I was in a quandary as to what to do - bid on both, or be satisfied with just the 965 and 959 with yellow hubs? As the auctions ended in the wee hours of the morning, and my main interest was with the Terex, I put all my eggs in that basket through an online bidding site, and placed an 'interest only' bid on the 959. I was quite surprised to see that I had won both the 965 and 959 with yellow hubs - and the red hub version went for just a little more than what I had paid for the 959! That is why I am singing praises about eBay! (Or at least until I have both models in my hands!) Returning to the photograph with your last post Jan - what I find unbelievable is that there is not a single Dinky Toy in sight anywhere!! Kind regards Bruce (150) #563
