Next up is the "wee lad" from "bonny Scotland".......Junior...
2. Where are you from / where do you live now?
I live in Ayr, Scotland
3. When did you start collecting Cars?
Im not really sure to be honest, My wee boy Ben (4) had a few of the cars from the first film and he used to watch it every day, then cars 2 came along and a wave of new stock appeared and it kind of gathered pace from there. We didn't set out at the beginning to have a collection but it just kind of grew into one.
4. Why did you start collecting Cars?
Ben loved playing with them and had a few of the playsets and he used to watch it every day, so if we seen a new one in the shop we would buy it.
5. How many cars (roughly) do you currently have?
We have around 260 cars (although I include in that the large storage helicopters and Tony Trihull.)
6. Which diecast car is your favourite (only one allowed)?
We won a Frosty in the Christmas competition here on PCD, although its tough to pick only one car, he gets the nod!
7. Which car (from the movie) is your favourite, and why?
Well Ben changes his mind a lot, he loves the bad guys, but I think RIP is his favourite because he knows how tough they are to find and there is a special magic about him - even though he only appears for a few seconds in the movie - if anyone has a spare...................lol
8. What has been your best ever find?
On a local selling site on facebook a lady was selling off her sons collection, we got about 40 cars for £20, this was especially good as they were all from the first film and included some of the toughest ones to get including all 4 tunerz and Lizzie.
9. What car(s) do you currently own?
One thing which makes me different from a lot of collectors I think is that I cant drive, Iv never really been bothered by it all to be honest although now im a Dad im starting to realise it might actually make life easier.
10. What is your dream car?
I think if I had to pick one id have to go with the Pagoni Zonda, I seen it on top gear once and it was pretty awesome looking.
11. What do you do for a day job?
Im a support worker and look after a gentleman who has both physical and learning disabilities, it is a really rewarding job although it does make the above post about my dream car totally impossible lol
12. Other than Cars Collecting, do you have any hobbies?
Im a sports lover and can watch almost any sport, I love going to the football (soccer) and im a big Glasgow Rangers fan. I also play bowls at a fairly high level and managed to win the Scottish Pairs championship a couple of years back which is definitely my sporting highlight in life.
13. What is your greatest ever achievement?
Definitely my wee boy Ben. Makes everything in life worth it.
14. What is your favourite ever TV show and favourite ever movie?
A comedy show called Still Game - probably unheard of outside of Scotland but it is hilarious, please guys go onto youtube or whatever you use - you wont be disappointed. Il go with Lord of the rings as my favourite movie although the usual suspects and goodfellas were close also rans
15. If you won "Who wants to be a millionaire", what would you do with the money?
Well id catch up with the cars collection (and help a few others out), buy a house, learn to drive, set up Ben for the future and travel the world. Anything that's left im sure the wife would take care of! lol!
