Next time you speak to Amanda (Miss Brooklin) offer her your warmest congratulations.
Can you elaborate? Also,speaking of Brooklin, has anyone heard of their planned new releases in 2020 (other than repaints)?? Are the 1929 Graham Paige, 1961 Pontiac Ventura ,1967 Pontiac Firebird, and 1965 Chev Malibu still planned? Also, what happened to the 1946 Pontiac Sedan Coupe that was announced in 2018? It is one that I'm especially looking forward to.
Will that Pontiac coupe be a Fastback? ...................................................(pic)
If so, consider me in!

Did she get married.....
Or divorced?
People celebrate both these days!
I celebrated when my child support order was done...
I was getting very tired of financing two homes for 20 years because my ex refused to work!
She's engaged! Congrats, Amanda!

+1, for I want to add my congratulations and best wishes.
As far as I'm aware Ken, the proposed new models and repaints will still go ahead when production time permits. Brooklin are still tied up with contractual work. Re the Pontiac, the Pontiac Collection as a separate range is no longer, but who knows, PC006 could come out as part of the BML range at some time in the future. Re Amanda, I will elaborate soon. Nothing sinister, so no need to worry. I just want to keep you guessing, but just congratulate her.
Awrr. You've ruined the intrigue John .
Congrats Amanda.....best wishes to you!
Thanks Mike.
Speaking of Amanda.....
I would like to join the numerous other members of this forum who have, from time to time, come to praise Amanda for her customer service. At long last, I have been the beneficiary of Brooklin's "angel".
Over the years that I have collected Brooklin models (36 and counting....) I have lost or broken many parts along the way. I never tried to get replacement parts until December. My lengthy list included a bumper for the BRK9 Ford Van and a windshield for the BRK12 Hudson (both models from circa 1980). These were added sort of as a lark, for surely they wouldn't have parts from back then.
Wrong.
When I opened the two wonderfully packed jewelry-box styled packages that arrived just a few days after my note to Amanda, there they were. Incredible. And she was able to send along every single part I had requested.
The entire process was fantastic; rare in today's world do you find such service. Whoever her fiance is, he is one lucky guy!

My experience with Amanda exactly and also my thoughts of her.
I have met her at Brooklin events over the years; she is a lovely person!
Congrats Amanda! And thank you for the many spares you have supplied. You are the Best!
I fully agree, her customer service with spares is 1st rate.
