We have an unfinished basement and you gave us some great ideas, thanks go to you and your family. We collect hotwheels (we lost count after about 6,000), johnny lightnings (about 4,000), a good chunk of Danbury, Franklin and GMP's. I thank you again for your support and input to a hobby that most people think is for just kids.

Hi, Ben - '

Jeez - with all the holiday goings-on I didn't know if I'd responded to you. Thanks for the kind words. We've been having a lot of fun with it, and now the show is really starting to get some attention, so we're really plugging away.

Thanks for watching our "other" show -

Hope you're having a great holiday -

All the Best,

Joe

Hey, Chris,

Wow - great to hear from you. We really enjoyed working with you and the crew...and the end result was incredible. The editing was AMAZING.

A lot of very cool things came out of this - I'll keep you posted (man, you must have made me look good).

Thanks again,

Joe

Nice set-up for sure. I definitely wouldn't want to get in a bidding war with Joe over a slot car on ebay or something.

Joe what you did there was awesome. I am thinking of starting a new business, restraunt,hobbyshop,racetrack and you gave me some great decorating ideas. Especially the corrigated tin, that looks so cool. Have fun.

@chachi3180 Yet another classy comment from a garden variety idiot. I invite all of the visitors here to have a look at this genuis's Youtube channel for even more brilliance. Not kid friendly.
