Something Different


Today I thought I would write about something other than food, books, or films. Everybody probably has their quirky collections and today, I'm going to share with you one of mine. My brother and I used to collect Matchbox cars when we were little. Of course my brother would store his away and keep them in prime condition while we played and trashed mine!! I don't think I had a Matchbox without a scratch on it. But as I left my Matchboxes at home in the U.S. I'm not going to talk about those. Not too long ago, in one of those "get to know your friends" essay, I think there was a question about hobbies. I have a friend back home who collects a lot of Ferrari mini cars (probably any kind of sports car) and I'm no different. I have a small collection of Lamborghini mini-cars. Well, one mini car and six Choro-Qs which is like a Japanese version of Matchbox. A can coffee company was doing a promotion with Lamborghini and if you bought a can of their coffee, you were also treated with a Lamborghini Choro-Q. The large yellow Lamborghini is a Lamborghini Diablo. I shall introduce you to the Choro-Qs as well.
