this Riv popped up this morning... matchbox size, and already out of the box so you don't have to worry about playing with it :tongue:

Pity it doesn't list the size of the hat; it's hard to find a non-adjustable hat of any sort that fits on my gigantic head. :P

(Which is to say my head is huge strictly in the physical sense, not the professional-athlete kind.)

Someone was selling a replica Mountie uniform on ebay recently (red serge, obviously) to fit a 6 year old. As far as I know it didn't sell - I watched it be relisted twice - but now it seems to have disappeared completely. The listing said it had been made specially for a wedding (I would love to see the photos from that wedding! :D ) and it had a moth hole on one shoulder. My son is almost 9 and it would have been too small for him, or I would have been more tempted, if only for the photo opportunity! :lol: They wanted GBP 35.00 (approx USD 55.00) which seemed too much to me, although I suspect it cost an awful lot more than that new. If it comes up again (or if I can find the old listing) I'll post a link.

I've seen a couple serge jackets... always out of my price range :(

I actually found an official navy blue peacoat on Etsy once that I was really lusting after... but they were asking $500!

Ergh! Once again, within price range, but TOO DANG SMALL!!!! :rolleye:

One of these days....

But on the other hand, if there's anyone here who fits into those - all you have to do is save the life of a Canadian so you don't have to worry about paying for them yourself. ;) :lol:

*sigh....* Rivs.... :wub:

(I contacted the owner of that one that you pointed out on Craigslist, but I found him rather dodgy. Also I missed a chance to go down there and take a closer look at it. Well....better luck next search.)

I found a Riv for sale in Sweden (actually, I think it's not impossible to find them for sale here from time to time--we have so many American Car enthusiasts here, especially up north! :) ) It's the right color, but unfortunately it's a 1973 car, and the steering wheel etc is not the same. But still, pretty neat.

Oh, and the converted price would be approximately $19,500. :P

Shame. :( But that just means YOUR Riv is still out there somewhere. You just have to find it! :D

And yeah, River Driver, my fingers are crossed that you'll find another one, but what Tiff said, I am *pretty* certain there's one waiting for you out there! :)

Well, as long as you ARE in fact talking about a Riv, instead of what people usually mean when they say "there's one waiting for you out there". :P

There might (emphasise MIGHT) be some news about the Quest for the Riv, however. Will share when I get it.
