[dvd3500]

My biggest regrets are buying rare cars that were broken or missing parts hoping to be able to "fix" them then seeing a more or less complete car for a decent price.
There is a rare Porsche 924 1/32 scale GAMA car that uses a propriety pick up system (the car basically hook in the slot). I bought one that had been converted to the Carrera "Universal" 3-rail system hoping to covert it to regular 2-rail.

And of course less than a year later the car shows up already converted for less than what the conversion cost would have run...

Or the Scalextric TR4 with a chunk missing from a fender or the Prefo Melkus RS1000 that had also been converted to the Universal 3-rail....

I should have just sat and waited for the right car to come along...
