I'm still building my collection & still trying to find a good website programme ...for a bargain price.!!
I've tried several over the past couple of years (many free off the internet ...which mostly include advertising and i've found, don't do what I want them to do.!) I've also bought a few cheap ready made sites, but again ...not as expected, takes too long to load anything, hasn't got scrolling pages or in some cases having no page links etc ... Just not up to scratch and would look pretty hopeless compared to some of the sites out there.! (I'm not a perfectionist, but I do want something which looks good & is easy enough to use & update)
All professionally made/ordered websites cost hundreds of pounds here in the UK, beyond my means ..especially with all my buying (I had been offline for almost half the year 2009, due first to No connection problems which couldn't be found January to March & offline again while I saved/bought a new pc (...offline from june/july till the end of september)
I have a 'proper' fibre-optic broadband connection now.
I've now got approx.7000 photos which are ready to add to a website (..and atleast another 6000 photos which need a bit of work before they're ready ...cropping, resizing, renaming etc...)
It's getting there, but still after all these years ..Not there yet.!
I'm always looking out for more cars.
My main collection is in the Matchbox, Hot Wheels, Majorette, Siku type scale ...which is generally called 1/64th or 3 inch (roughly 70mm to 80mm long)
Australian releases and related are pretty hard to come by (I only have one 'Biante' Holden in my collection and I also have a box set of 'HSV' cars off of E-bay) apart from that, I've only got the regular releases from Matchbox & Hot Wheels (Ie: Matchbox's 1970's Holden ute (aka- Ruff Trek), Their 1950's Holden van, 1990's Ford Falcon and both of Hot Wheels Holden Commodore's from the 1980's & 1990's.) ..also recently got a 1960's Holden ambulance by Fun Ho.
I've seen some nice 1970's Ford Falcon's by Biante and other brands on E-bay, but by the time you add postage to them, it's costing in the region of £15 to £20 each, which once again, I cannot afford!
If you get the chance to add photo's to flickr, i'd be interested to see them (and possibly trade, if you wish)
