My First Matchbox Car!

Car: Ford GT - Metallic Purple
Series: Sports Cars 13/100
Location: Toy City @ City Mall KK
Date: 24 May 2011










First of all,
Why would I start to collect Matchbox?
It happened when I was helping friends to hunt for HWC,
At the same time, I also paid some attention to Matchbox,
This is when the Ford GT caught my attention...

Ford GT is the car that featured in Fast Five movie,
Car which was hijacked and stolen by Dom and Mia Toretto,
According to Stephen CK, he said:
"I suggest you to collect this car if you are a Matchbox collector!"
Just like that,
I was hypnotized to buy my first ever die-cast toy car,
And unconsciously became a Matchbox collector!

Besides,
I think I understand why there are people who collect more than 1,
One still intact and another is loose one...
Imagine that you had bought a damn cool HWC,
Sealed by package and you cannot touch it,
The feeling is just like a leng lui appeared in front of you,
Can see but cannot eat...

Quote from Wiki:
"The Ford GT is a mid-engine two-seater sports car. Ford Motor Company produced the Ford GT for the 2005 to 2006 model years. The designers drew inspiration from Ford's classic GT40 race cars of the 1960s. The car was named the GT (for Grand Touring) with the 40 representing its overall height of 40 inches.
