Who wants a free Europa?

Ok, it's not a real Europa, just a Matchbox. I found this while I was grocery shopping today. As I have not seen this particular Matchbox I had to get it but figured that somebody here would want it more (I always did think they were kinda ugly). I'll even pay the shipping, just tell me why you want it.

Send it to SVrex for some inspiration to get his done for the challenge/babe etc....

My 2 year old would love you if you sent it to him.

What store did you find it in? I'd like to find one for a friend.

I would, but I already have 2 of those

Are you looking to trade at all? I have a collection of unopened modern ones including Shelby Mustangs, Volvo C30, Bentleys and so forth...

Nope no trades, just somebody that really wants it. I don't know anybody that collects them, let alone anybody that even knows what a Europa is. I was thinking Paul might need it as inspiration but I'm sure he's busy doing charity work at the moment as I haven't seen him post in a couple of days.

Sachilles, I found it at a local grocery store (Pick N Save here in WI). They tend to get older Hot Wheels/Matchbox that I haven't seen in couple of years (this one is dated 2008).

JW, if your boy like Hot Wheels I have quite a few from my son that I can send him. He only plays with larger 1/24 scale cars now. PM me a address and I'll put together a little care package for him.

I'd love it!

How come everyone around here seems to think I needs inspiration??

Oh wait, I missed the "Why you want it" part...

Because I am the proud owner of a 4th generation Challenge Lotus (yeah, that's right- 4 potential Challengers before me failed to complete it), and the inspiration is desperately needed to redeem not just me but the entire breed of procrastinating Challenge wannabes!

Besides, if the inspiration is not sufficient, I will become failure #5, but at least I'll have a complete Europa (small though it may be)!

Paul, pm me a address and I'll get it out to 'ya.

JW, I got yours also, expect a package this week!

Sweet.

I love matchbox/hotwheels. Not the goofy ones, but the scale to real life ones.

I want a free Europa, almost as much as I want to be able to access the site from my iPhone, which I could not do while stuck in the hospital. Heck, I still can't. I'm sending my little sister, who lives in Wisconsin to see if she can find any more of these, since I don't fit in the real thing.

Why can you not get to this site from your iPhone?
I can access it from other various cell phones and Blackberrys.

Even in matchbox form i am still afraid that a free europa will somehow cost a ton of money.
The higharchy of expensive FREE items.
1. Free Porsche (expensive)
2. Free Europa (more expensive)
3. Free wooden powerboat (endlessly expensive)

No iPhone problem here. I regularly post to the forum from my iPhone.

for any of you that missed out on this one, I have a full size free europa body available. It's not near as nice looking as the one picured above, but is much bigger. No I won't pay shipping.

mw- If I get the new house with a garage, I'll look you up. US Customs will LOVE that one.

I found more yesterday! I was cruising the Wal-Mart in backwoods Iowa and they had like only 12 Matchbox cars. Funny thing is 5 of them were yellow Europas. That must be a testament to their awesomeness by getting enough for every child in this small Iowa town, or their ugliness - meaning nobody wants these damn things. My guess is the latter. I only bought 2 though.

Whoever wants one stake your claim!

I have one on my desk, along with a blue Europa, 3 Espirts (one is "tooned"), 2 Elises and an Evora.

Then I have two "bigger" ones in my garage. Well, one is half in the garage and half outside the garage.

Are they gone? I've been searching for a tiny Europa. I even wore my yellow Lotus shirt today.

Not yet, One is now yours Woody. PM me an address and I'll mail it out this week.

One left......

Thanks! PM sent.

My kid would love one, and it would get his habit (I mean hobby) off on the right foot.

Alrighty then Tuna, shoot me a PM and you get the second one.
