Title: Sweet - unexpected birthday gift
Post by: popbumper on February 07, 2008, 10:22:16 AM
Yup, today's the big 48 - dang - it got here WAY too quick.. ???.

So I get into work at 8 this morning, between 9 and 9:30 I am in a meeting and when I get back to my desk, there's a "happy birthday" bag sitting on my chair. Lo and behold, a "Fresh Cherries" 1:24 1974 Pinto Runabout replica is in the bag.... :amazed:

....I'm still smiling  ;D. A small step towards having the real thing, but a step nonetheless.

A big, belated  :happy_bday: to both of you!!!  As a word of encouragement, Chris, only about a year passed between the acquisition of my first "Fresh Cherries" Pinto and the purchase of my 1972 sedan.  Hang in there... it will happen! :smile:

happy belated!!

I too am another "victim" of the Fresh Cherries Pinto Fairy. I bought my little green '77 FC wagon replica, and not 2 weeks later dragged home a brown '77 sedan :D

Here's hoping yours drops by soon!
