The K111 had no box. The K114 box had torn corners, loose cellophane, a little crushed on one end. I don't collect paper or boxes, so I didn't care. |

This K21 came to us without its load...![]() ... but it was cheap, and in nice shape. I figured on finding the loads piece-by-piece later on, but that plan doesn't seem to be working out. Oh well, it's good for carrying other stuff. "Yeah, kid! That'll carry a squashed-up Lincoln for sure!" Probably more than one, Officer. Edited by guy64, Jul 18 2017, 12:30 AM.

It's been seen before from the rear, but...![]() ... Bert insists that the K10-C Auto Transporter deserves a "proper presentation". How could I argue with that? This is another SuperKing that came out after my first Matchbox affair ended, and one that I figured I'd have to shell out plenty of $ to get in good shape. But along came a Matchbox veteran from the "old place" (goes by the handle of "bigtractormike") who just happened to have one he'd sell me. The price was very reasonable, much less than anything I'd seen on "ofas" for something in LN shape, so I jumped on it. Thanks again, Mike! "Kid, you skipped a beat again." Yup, Officer, and we've also run out of Matchbox pix. "WHAT? How could you let this happen?" Well, I've been dropping hints for months now about all the new stuff we've gotten since your last shoot. You keep ignoring me. What was I supposed to do; hog-tie you and lean you up against the wall? "Well I... you... but, but... I've been busy and... we... d'oh... never mind, kid. Now what?" Well, Officer, Lightning does strike you from time to time. It has in the past. Maybe that's what's needed to... um, jump-start your photo career again. "Lightning, huh? W-well, ok, just let me get ready here..." See you in the JL forum, Officer. BZZZWAAPPP!!! Edited by guy64, Jul 18 2017, 12:40 AM.

Ah yes! The infamous Cab-Under. I always think of the old TV show called "The Highwayman" when I see this rig. Oy! For Jacko! |
