Pretty sure it was the Porsche’s, my dad drove Porsche’s when I was a kid and damn how I loved those cars. We spent a lot of times at meetings and dealers and thats how I got a lot of Porsche models, many are broken unfortunally. Funny thing is my actual car I drive right now, when it came out in 2009 a while later I bought the 1:43 Norev model of it for a nice price, and while looking for cars I saw the model and thought back how a few years back I really liked the idea of me owning that car. So started searching for one and found prices were in my range. :D

A white pedal powered race car given to me and my bro by our Dad. It didn’t go very well in the grass of our garden but it set us up for a life of being petrolheads.

So many Matchbox and Hotwheels cars. Every weekly shopping trip to Tescos, (other stores available), I had to push the trolley and always took a very time consuming detour via the toy isle and rarely came away with less than 3 cars. Mum always had to spoil the fun and restrict me to ONLY 3 cars a week. Regularly our living room carpet would become a maze of city streets and a regular casualty would occur when cars exited ‘city limits’ and was stood on by foot traffic from the kitchen. This was often followed by shouting, ‘keep them away from the door’ and me explaining why the diversions from the roadworks extend an extra 6 feet across the floor.

Unfortunately no pictures as many cars were broken, lost, put in DEEP storage or taken outside where they also got broken, lost or put in deep storage, mainly in a sand pit where offroad racing events took place.

It was a Matchbox 1997 Land Rover Defender 110. I still have it, I just don’t have any pictures of it…
