When throwing a 5 year birthday party:

1. "Knights" is a good theme.
2. Soft plastic swords is a smart thing.
3. If you´re ambitious - a mantle is a nice thing to sew by yourself.
4. Soft plastic swords do hurt when smashed hard. Even by a 5 year old.
5. Buy crowns for everybody. That looks the same. Only the birthday kid could have a fancy one.
6. Soft plastic swords are to be handed out at the very end of the party.
7. Soft plastic swords are not soft enough.

Great cars from Tom!

My friend Tom and I joined in for a multilateral tricontinental car venture a couple of weeks ago.

Tom lives in the US. He has a friend "down under" who had a lot of Frosty´s. So I agreed to buy one Super Chase Frosty via Tom (he was getting one for himself as well.)



While we were waiting for the Austrailian package to arrive, Tom also got interrested in the Mattel-Case (P) with both Memo Rojas and Vitaly Petrov in. He asked me if I wanted in. And yes. I wanted in.


Yesterday the cars finally arrived here in Sweden!

As many collectors already has pointed out, the number on the back of Vitaly says "no more than 2000 units produced". On the other 4 Super Chase Cars the number is 4000. So Vitaly is even more Super SUPER chase.

But Tom did send some more cars!



Pit Crew Member Guido - a favourite from the first Cars movie. Now I´m only one Pitty down!

 # 43 - Otis:


 # 48 - Alexander Hugo with Party Hat:



 # 50 - Sir Harley Gassup:


And two more cars that I promise to give to the kids. I´m not sure if Tom intentions were for me to have all the rest of the cars. But since he´s a collector too, I´m sure he don´t mind if I take some childerns toys and keep it for my self.

Right, Tom? :)
