TC is a toy collector and trader, see my eBay profile if you'r interested (not)..signed up to the inter-web looking for a trade-name in 1997 but they were all taken up to toycollector09, hence, TC10...I'm going to sell that moniker in 2019  for $1,100,000 for my retirement fund..maybe  *+=^%$@!!!  ;D

What sort of toys do you collect?  Other than Hondas of course.

Antique and vintage tin plate..all sorts....I seem to have developed an eye for what is popular in the collecables side of things,...i.e. bought a bakelite Smiths clock down at the local market for $30 NZ and sold for $351 on the internet..Just 30 plus years of buying and selling, just seem to have a bit of  a knack for it..lucky old me!!  Some guys can wrench their bikes no sweat, I envy that, I have other skills I can use to convert into cash to pay those guys..Right!!

So you're not actually objectionable - just able to raise objections (or actually both?)

I suppose that depends on who you ask  :) Intended as the latter

It was the ease`t way to remember the phonetic alphabet .I have also got a Ham sign.  ???
Then I think, why don't use my birthname and  on this sit its better all now me white  my own name Egil 
After I got my hamsign I change`s my sign to La2vpa. Egil

You can buy me movie and drinks and that's not enough, because I'm crazy for those two strokes!  Of course, if Terry had his way, I'd be called "Strokey".
My dog loves me for the person I try to be.  Either that or he's hungry.

Born on Independence Day (July 4th for you non-Yanks).

The nice thing is, my son (age five) thinks the fireworks are for daddy's birthday.   ;D   I'll explain it better one day, but it's nice having him think I'm THAT special...   8)

1951 Ford 1-ton truck
1967 Mustang Fastback
1968 Mustang "California Special"

and several post 1970 fords as well (anything after 1970 to me is just transportation, not a real "car")  ;D

I acquired Sparty for two reasons. 1. I was the mascot for two years at MSU.  2. I actually look similar to the mascot, which is scary.

I picked it because it's unique and because I'm a fan of forgotten slang and nostalgia.  I'm also a Tom Waits (hard blues) fan, and he sings a sad song called Burmashave about a guy and gal who die while trying to leave their past behind.  Cheery, no?

Spitfire,
         Because I'm an aircraft nut interested in WW2 aircraft, so go to airshows, aircraft museums, I also build scale models (non flying), not very good but I learn something new with every one that I build .
And the Supermarine Spitfire is my favourite aircraft, the sound of that big RR Merlin is like nothing else.
