<p>Dear Jim,</p>
<p>Portland is not a trademark or a supplier of cement, it is a type of cement, in fact the most common one available from any builders merchant all over the world.<br /><br />May I use this post to wish every member of this forum a happy new year and plenty of discovery of new models etc...</p>

Thanks Jacques. I looked up some more information on it.

Portland cement, binding material in the form of a finely ground powder, usually gray, that is manufactured by burning and grinding a mixture of limestone and clay or limestone and shale. The inventor Joseph Aspdin, of England, patented the basic process in 1824, naming it for the resemblance of the cement when set to portland stone, a limestone from the Isle of Portland.

The Citroen always reminds me of the first Corgi catalogue I ever had , it had the Morris Marina , Cortina Mk3 in it around 1973/74 , I had the Cortina police car but never got the Marina and Citroen until the mid 1980's.

I am cleaning my basement and found this:

4 X matchbox and 8 X Maisto.(1 big and 7 smaller)
Is there anybody who want these cars?
I like to trade, Corgi car for these cars.

<p>I like the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit but I have nothing to trade, sorry.</p>

I only collect Corgi Toys.
So if you had a Corgi Toy car i trade.
Maybe we can work something out.

The rollerman, where are you living?
If you pay me what it cost to send you the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit i will sent it to you.
We can trade later.

I am in the United Kingdom.

The postage for Belgium to the UK is 13,05€ or 11,20 GBP for 0 to 350 gr.
For sending you the Rolls Roycs Silver Spirit.

I can pay that to you with PayPal if you use the private message system here and give me an email address connected to your PayPal account.

TheRollerMan, can you do me a PM because i try but it don't work.

See where you log into the site, upper right corner. Click the arrow then click Settings. On the next page click Preferences. Then on the left side Click on Messages, in the second group of choices. From there you can send PM's to members When you get there on the top of the page you will see Compose on the right side. Type in the user name in this case therollerman and then type the message. The other way is to copy therollerman's name and go to Community then Members above in the red band, there you type or paste in the member name in the search box and when you find him you can then send a message by clicking on Send Message and then type up your message. The second one is better as it is not so hard to find.
Both work.
