I am back.

[Obelix]

Well I want to say hi to all my old friends on here and howdy to all the new ones, I was kicked of a while back without rime or reason, but have found myself a way back in, and man did I miss all of you. The old friends will know me under my old name of Watercool, but had to get a new name thus Obelix. And yes I am still dealing toys, hundreds of them sitting waiting for new owners, we will deal with that as soon as I get caught up on the posts.
Been working hard in the time I was gone, bought a house, sold the house, started a business and moved the business and been working my behind off, and not making money, well not the big money anyway, but I am enjoying myself and thats what counts. Started a detail business after had my fiancee's car cleaned and they did such a poor job of it for a ton of money, gave it a South African name, Cape Town Custom Detailing.

I am still owner, detailer, shopboy, driver, toilet scrubber, etc. But having the time of my life. And with a name like that you would be surprised how many South Africans I have met in the past year, they drive by see the name and come knocking, then it is visiting for hours on end and becoming great friends, spended Christmas having a real SA Christmas, and it was fun, not to mention the food.
But I just wanted to say hi to everyone again.
Some work I have done.

Looks great Henry. Well done.
The difference in those seats and engine bay is amazing.

Welcome back Henry! Some of us have gone into withdrawal from the lack of toys being sold on the forum.

It looks like you have a nice business going and judging by the pics, are doing fabulous job. I can't wait for you to start posting cars for sale.

Wow, how time flies. It was more than 2 months ago I got back on the sight, and I said that I have some toys to sell. And yes I do, but just to find time to sort them and get them on here. The shop is keeping me so busy, doing 14 to 16 hours a day and that is 7 days a week, then the fiancee has left, that took up all the little spare time I had to prep for her leaving. So now that I am "single" again I sometimes sleep at the shop and do not bother going home, don't like the empty house.
With the shop doing good I had to make a decision about the Porsche, had not touched it the past 2 months, and it is just gathering dust. So out the door it went, sold it to a nice girl who is in the Porsche club and will finish it. So I will still see it at the meets. Space is now utilized for another car to be cleaned, hope to get the Type 3 Ghia in there soon

Well just wanted to let know I have not forgot you all on the toys, just a timing thing. And no the fiancee did not dropped my ass, she is just on a mission overseas for a few months (destination unknown) I need to skype her in and hour or so. Keep an eye on the model section.
