Ladies and Gentlecars, next up in the spotlight is our German representative.....Gipsy....
2. Where are you from / where do you live now?
I live in Hamburg, Germany. Never lived anywhere else.
3. When did you start collecting Cars?
Well, correctly it is my son who is collecting cars and he started about 3 and a half years ago. It all began with a single McQueen and oh, well, you all know what this turns in to. Later on, my husband and I started collecting only the spcials like the SDCC ones.
4. Why did you start collecting Cars?
Well, as stated above, we started because of our son when he was about 2 and a half years and is now 6 years old. We started about a yeat later with those specials cause we did not want to give a three year old little guy the SDCC item.
5. How many cars (roughly) do have currently have?
Whooo, hard to say, but putting boths collections together I think there have to be about 500 cars. I stopped counting them when they came to be more than 200.
6. Which diecast car is your favourite (only one allowed)?
That is a hard question. I like many of them, but if I had to choose only one I guess it is our blue-ray McQueen. (If customs count as well, then it would be our custom red ransburgh)
7. Which car (from the movie) is your favourite, and why?
Another hard question, especially as there are two movies lol. For cars1 I guess it is Mater, but I also love Guido. Mater is one of my favorites because it seems like for him there is no difference between cars no matter what background they have. Guido I like because of the last race where he changes McQueens tires.
For cars2 I do not have a real favorite one. But I love uncle Topolino cause he is telling McQueen something about friendship.
8. What has been your best ever find?
Hey, I live in Germany, you can be lucky here if you find anything. lol But guess I could count myself lucky that we had lots of Brian Park Motors and Chuck Choke Cables here. Helped out a lot of people with those.
9. What car(s) do you currently own?
I have a Mitsubishi Lancer Sportsback at the moment, but thinking about changing the car by the end of the year, cause this one is too small - in my opinion.
10. What is your dream car?
To be honest: I do not have a dream car. For me a car has to take me from place a to place b an has to have a lot of space in the back. (Two children, you know?)
11. What do you do for a day job?
At the moment I am out of work and just stay at home with the kids. Cause of my husbands work and the kids who still need someone to be around I have to look for work at night which is really hard to find.
12. Other than Cars Collecting, do you have any hobbies?
I have my family which takes a lot of time, but I like reading and if there is time left I like to go horse-riding.
13. What is your greatest ever achievement?
My two boys, I would say.
14. What is your favourite ever TV show and favourite ever movie?
I do not watch much TV, so I do not have a favorite show there. My favorite movie(s) was (were) Lord of the Rings.
15. If you won "Who want's to be a millionnaire", what would you do with the money?
If I won this, I guess I would first buy a bigger car, afterwards build a house for my family and go on a nice holiday. And I would donate part of it.
Thank you for your time gipsy
