Next up in the Spotlight is our super town builder....GotFrank...!!!
2. Where are you from / where do you live now?
Quad Cities, IL (approx 400,000 people). Grew up in the rural surrounding area. http://www.visitquadcities.com/
3. When did you start collecting Cars?
Just after the Wal-Mart 8 were released. Summer 2007 I think.
4. Why did you start collecting Cars?
For my oldest son Harrison as rewards. He has a high-functioning form of Autism. So he's into having the Cars displayed in order. And keeping track of all the names. But He grew out of Cars a while ago. His younger brother seems to be picking up the torch though.
5. How many cars (roughly) do have currently have?
Around 550 - 600 99% of Cars (1) loose, 30% carded. And 85% Cars 2 loose, 3% carded. (Mattel only except DS Frank & Paddy)
6. Which diecast car is your favourite (only one allowed)?
SDCC Rescue Squad Mater Amazing paint & detail!
7. Which car (from the movie) is your favourite, and why?
[I]Frank, I live in the home of combine manufacturing (both John Deere, Case IH). And the excitement he adds to the film is pivotal in my opinion.{/I]
8. What has been your best ever find?
Team Bumper $ave (H,R,P), Shifty Drug Hauler, Johnnie, Jamie & Cone McQ @ Target comes to mind. I did get the Storytellers Showstoppers, Cousins, & Bubba all on clearance too. Tie..?
9. What car(s) do you currently own?
Mine - (Fully restored ie: I had to replace the engine. errr) 1998 Buick Le Saber (Links Edition), The Wife's - 2005 Chrysler Town & Country (Touring)
10. What is your dream car?
1967-69 Camaro SS something like this
11. What do you do for a day job?
Full-time dad (2 sons), my wife is Human Resorces for a company that converts paper documents into digital files.
12. Other than Cars Collecting, do you have any hobbies?
Movies, some TV (Sci-Fi, comedy, documentaries). I also draw.
13. What is your greatest ever achievement?
Raising a child with Autism.
14. What is your favourite ever TV show and favourite ever movie?
Red Dwarf, I watch these over & over and they never get old, Dune, I could rant for a while. But just great on all points IMO.
15. If you won "Who want's to be a millionnaire", what would you do with the money?
Australian opal mine dooms-day bunker, maybe... But certainly a world tour with my evil twin brother. Host a freakin' awesome meet & greet for all the Cars folks. Have a good time.
Watch out for future articles showing the details of GotFrank's self built Radiator Springs...
