Hello All, My name is Harris and I’m in trouble with my wife for spending so much money on CARS 🙂 Moving right along…I’m 33, love Jazz and appreciates music in general, been collecting Star Wars since I was little, I enjoy my weekly skin bash..been drumming on and off now for 20 years, career wise been in the IT industry for quite some time now(I know what you ‘re thinking, but Im not a tech-head :)). I ‘m married to a very gorgoeus wife and have a cheeky  cute 1 year old boy who will take possession of all the CARS im collecting now…lovin life in general, but you must be if you’re into CARS 🙂

WHEN DID YOU START?
Started lightly when the movie first released, but the heavy addiction started about 12 months ago.

WHAT WAS THE FIRST CAR YOU GOT?
Hamm, cause it represents the year of the PIG when my son was born and plus it was the only car available on the shelve.

HOW LONG BEFORE YOU HAD CAR #2?
probably a week after Hamm….then I realised I’m in trouble.

WHEN DID YOU DECIDE/REALIZE YOU NEEDED MORE THAN ONE?
When I found Met / Takefiveaday.com (previously twoaday)..I often visit the site 5-8 times a day.

WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU HAD TO GO BIG INTO THIS THING?
When I saw the movie and Speedway Of The South..I remember staying up until 4 am to buy this online and thinking..geez here comes the haulers, pittys and all other related race crews. Not too mention this mcqueen, that mcqueen 😛

WHAT WAS THE CRAZIEST THING YOU’VE HEARD ABOUT COLLECTING THESE CARS? (NEVER YOU, SOME OTHER PERSON’S CRAZY STORY :-) ).
My wife thinks I’m crazy for spending all this cash on CARS and thinks that I’m so childish, until I showed her some crazy collections of photos, things you guys all do to collect these things.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE CAR?
I must say anything Dinoco is my favourite…I collect single CARS, but I must have eveything that’s got DINOCO written on it. DINOCO IS ALL MINE!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION?
All the Haulers. Can’t wait to line them up in my son’s display room! oooh and waiting for Mattel to give Australia the same releases as it is in the US (wishful thinking).
