The Malcolm Forbes toy soldier and tin boat collection at the Forbes New York Gallery, which I wrote about in an earlier blog article, will be sold at auction by Sotheby's in New York on December 17 2010.

Before I tell you who this statue will be, a bit of story on a funny afternoon.
On our way to the Mall of the Emirates this afternoon, I was driving peacefully at 100 kph in a 6 lane highway. Two lanes to my right was a hot red Ferrari sportscar also peacefully driving at the same speed. Out of nowhere a souped up Mitsubishi Lancer Evo came between us revving his engine obviously wanting a race with the Ferrari...
I don't know about you, but all three of us were lined up so perfectly that I thought i was part of the challenge and that the logical thing to do was to floor the gas pedal immediately. The glory lasted less than 2 seconds and the bastards were gone from my sight in 10. I was left enduring a hysterically screaming angry wife the rest of the trip. Twas fun though....

Here's a quick alert for anyone in the UK who's looking for something to do tomorrow, Saturday October 1st!
In Chesham, Buckinghamshire @ 42 High Street is an amazing little shop called Collectors Paradise who do diecast, records, china, Videos & DVDs, Thomas the Tank Engine memorabilia and all sorts of other things. It's one of those great little shops that aren't supposed to exist any more (but still do in a few places!) Tomorrow, they're having a big blow-out half price sale on EVERYTHING in the shop, starting at 8.30am! That's half price on Dinkies, Corgis and much else besides to clear out and make way for all the new stock they don't have space to put out at the moment...
This shop is old-school, so there's no website and no email! Just a phone number - 01 494 794 947 if you'd like directions! The full address is 42 High Stret, Chesham, Buckinghamshire, HP5 1EE.
