Hi Rob, I was also about 11. 4-spring motors work very well as hoists for GI Joe and records were always more fun than the Wham-O 109 gram Frisbee because they [the records] exploded on impact.

One strange thing that I have noticed is that some of us started at an early age. I started collecting at 11 - though I did have an earlier interest in old records....they made good targets for my friends & I for shooting our air-rifles/ bb guns at (sorry!). Can kick myself for that now. I'd be interested to know who also caught the disease early? all the best Rob On 12/27/06, Mario Frazzetto <mari...@optusnet.com.au> wrote: > > Hi Folks, > > I was sitting here thinking about the hobby and people that I have met and > spoken to because of it (including the very helpful members of this list). > And I can honestly say that I have NEVER been more excited about my hobby > than I am at present.
