    Wow - that was a great first find - how long did it take you to realise how good that car boot find actually was?

    I'm surprised that you ststed your love to Liverpool after recent performances - does show that you're a true fan though (although a bad choice - said by a "dirty Leeds" fan!!!)

      Nice to learn more about you, carscrazy... I've enjoyed your posts, photos, and comments and look forward to seeing more photos of your collection.

      I take it a boot sale might be what we call a yard sale or garage sale in the US? Used items for sale at a home or church...

      Sounds like we have a rivalry brewing between MrB (Leeds) and carscrazy (Liverpool) over football...

        Yes a boot sale is people selling off their items like a yard sale..usually very cheap!
        We knew we had a good find once we started searching for more cars as there was no lizzy/reds etc left in the shops.

        I will get round to taking more photos of our collections to share..takes ages fitting them all back into storage boxes tho lol

        Even tho Liverpool have struggled of late i still strongly believe in them

        Oh and im a lass guys

          I've made the change in the original post to reflect that you're a lass, carscrazy...

          Thank you for clarifying about the boot sale... and I fully understand about it taking time to put Cars back in storage after you get them out to photograph.

                Will be a great game! look forward to it.

                We wasnt going to go bootsale on the day we found the cars so really was luck, still look round bootsales as you never know what you may find.

                  I suppose being a girly would explain the liverpool thing!

                  cripes I really cant have gerard and co, however I dont do premier league football anymore as I couldnt be bothered with the prima donna antics of them

                  chris, if you want a laugh checkout liverpool fc and the beachball incident on u tube and also in case you didnt know leeds arnt even in the premier league and on presnt form arnt likely to be for a good while yet

                  swansea, good job youve got brendan as yer gaffer, stand up for the ulsterman next time youre in the ground

                  cars crazy, on a serious point, car booties do seem to be way forward in the next few months

                    Boogity your so correct about the drama queens in football these days. It really does spoil what used to be a very good sport to watch, I rarely watch as many games now due to the dramatics but will always support Liverpool no matter how rubbish they are playing lol

                    Hopefully if the weather stays dry the bootsales will be on again at the weekend so who knows what we will find next

                      6. Which diecast car is your favourite (only one allowed)?
                      Lizzy, Was so excited when we finally found one.

                      Just noticed i didnt delete original answer to this question properly.. I was going to put 'brian park motors, was so excited when we finally found one'. Then changed mind to Lizzy but i didnt delete 'finally' from the sentance. Question 8 reminded me about Lizzy, Dont know how i nearly forgot about her.

                      Does anyone think she is likely to be re-released with cars 2? Would love a carded Lizzy to keep original as ours is loose.

                        I fully expect Lizzie to be re-released... might be as a single, might be in a boxed set...

                          called into disney, belfast today, found diddly squat, however my chum is back off maternity so had a bit of a yarn

                          according to her all the tourists are wanting now is ships and boats

                          you cant get moving in town without seeing something to do with the titantic, mind you the new titantic centre looks mighty
