Next up in the spotlight... a member who's been helping many members with signatures and graphics recently... ladies and gentlecars, here's BomBom77...
2. Where are you from / where do you live now?
In a tiny little village in deepest, darkest South Wales. It has no vowels in its name though! Its called
Ynysybwl. Would love to hear some of the forumites having a go at pronouncing that! LOL
3. When did you start collecting Cars?
Started collecting them after my son first watched the movie last summer. He got into it so much that he would
just scream when Mack goes from the SOTS to Cali and started shouting out the names of the Tunerz as they appeared.
It just "blossomed" from there.
4. Why did you start collecting Cars?
As above really. My little one was soooo into the film that we bought him a LMQ so he could associate the toy
with the film and its grown from there. He loves playing with them, especially the haulers but it seems that the
pursuit of the diecasts, especially the PC racers and haulers has become mine lol.
5. How many cars (roughly) do you have currently have?
At present (he has a stash he does not know about, for his birthday next week) I would guestimate he has around 150-200
6. Which diecast car is your favourite (only one allowed)?
A Favourite? For my boy, its easy, he loves Mack, Frank and Bessie. For me, hmmmm, its a toughie but if I had to
plump for just one, i'd have to say Elvis RV. I liked the RV's from the film and was gutted that they never got
around to selling the Convoy Bros and Syd Van Der Kamper
7. Which car (from the movie) is your favourite, and why?
From the movie I would have to say it is Mater, purely for that one line when LMQ tells the RS guys that Doc has
won 3 Piston Cups. "He did WHAT in his cup?" Love that theres references in there that kids wouldnt bat an eyelid
at, yet the parents have to explain why they are laughing......awkward! lol
8. What has been your best ever find?
Best ever find would have to be Chick Hicks last month. eBay prices for loose, played with Chick were like 5-7
pound so finding a new in the packaging (even if it is a re-release) Chick was satisfying
9. What car(s) do you currently own?
My main ride at the mo is my problem riddled BMW 3 Series (2004) Love the car and its looks but its upkeep and
ongoing repairs are a PITA! I also own a 1972 VW Beetle, the 1600cc GT Beetle model in Tomato Red. They were known
in the States as 1300S and were limited in their run. Juice, as he is affectionately known, is currently on hiatus
though LOL
10. What is your dream car?
Dream Car? Easy, Bugatti Veyron. (plus an expenses account to keep it in Gas! LOL)
11. What do you do for a day job?
At present I work as a delivery driver for a supermarket chain. I used to work as a lifeguard
12. Other than Cars Collecting, do you have any hobbies?
I am a certified Sports Nut. I love nearly all sports but have a particular passion for Blackburn Rovers,
Chicago Bears, Chicago Blackhawks as well as the Bulls and the Cubs. I also love Guns N Roses. Outside of that, I
am a big fan of Stand up comedy and improv
13. What is your greatest ever achievement?
I am not going to go the route of Marriage and Children as thats kinda a given so outside of those, I would say
representing my country at Judo. Was a proud moment for me
14. What is your favourite ever TV show and favourite ever movie?
TV show has to be the Stargate Franchise. Loved SG 1, Atlantis and Universe. Also liked Veronica Mars. Currently
though it is a toss up between Spartacus and Supernatural. As for Films, take your pick, I can't. Good Morning
Vietnam, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Remember The Titans and Dogma
15. If you won "Who want's to be a millionnaire", what would you do with the money?
Well, I wouldnt have enough to retire So i would settle for becoming debt free, renovating the house and
changing the cars, plus a family holiday to Cars Land naturally. Anything left would get banked for a rainy day.
