When I'm in the UK I use to attend at as may car boot sales as I can. They're a gold mine for us modellers, rare kits on sale for a few quids and so on!!!
If you can get an extra Sherman interactive CD for such a price (for me of course) it will be great!!!
Ciao and keep on "digging"

Car Boot Sales? I love Brittish slang. To those on this side of the pond I quess this means Garage Sales or yard sales. We have plenty of them but I never go to any. Maybe now I'll have a good excuse.

Here in America, the only boots on cars are the (usually orange) clamps that meter-maids will put on your car for egregious parking violations. #:-) They'll remove them once you pay your fines. (Pics of some here, if interested: http://www.denverboot.com/.)

haa part timer should be called a trunk over there right those boots are called clamps over here and the people who enforce them are called clampers and in my book be the lowest of the low to do that job some have even clamped ambulances when on a 999 call and hearses too! costs about £50-75 to get the clamp off and can go up day by day if you leave it parked up somewere

I guess here we call them 'flea markets'. I do not go to them because I HAVE TO MANY KITS TO BUILD NOW! Or, so my wife tells me. It is soooooooo easy to find something that I just have to have. It is best I just stay away(for awhile anyway).
