I guess that we all have a model in our collection that has the power to transport us back to our childhood. I know I do.  The model in question is our 25th Anniverary model from Oxford Diecast in 1:43 scale. This model has a story of its own in that 25 of these models with a special anniverary wrap were given to the club free of charge by Taff. However that is not of course the reason I choose the Austin Ruby.  My auntie and uncle owned  one and it was the first car I ever rode in. They would often turn up out of the blue and my parents and I would bundle into the back for a trip out on the moors to see the ponies. For a small child this was a great adventure and a real treat. Once you get started with a memory  it has a habit of escalating and then you are looking at other models like the Western National bus that my dad and I would catch on a Sunday afternoon for a walk around Hooe Lake or the City Corporation bus that I would catch home after watching the speedway at the Pennycross stadium.
