I had no idea what it was at the time, but my first ever and forever favourite hot wheels car was a red Lancia Stratos. I now have 2 boxes full of assorted Matchboxes, Mattel cars and Tomicas.

In terms of RC, I had a Ferrari F2002 1:16 whose chassis I stiffened by drilling in credit cards as bracing, the RedSuns RX-7 from Initial D I used for drifting, an Evo VIII, and a 1:8 Mini Cooper S.

I had a particular fondness for my 1:43 scale Dodge Viper RT/10. That shape really spoke to me. It got stepped on though…

Honestly, a lot. My dad started collecting Hot Wheels in the months before I was born, because he knew I’d probably end up being a car guy like he is.
