These Hot Wheels Cars are what's left of my original collection. I started it on 1992 back in my years as an university student, so these pieces have almost 30 years with me.
I've kept them well stored, that's why they're in such a good condition. Friends and family who knew I started this collection back in the early 90s never thought it would last this much.
It all began as a game in which I started to buy the car models I wanted to have in real size. I remember I began with a Ford Mustang 1993, provided I'm in love with mustangs since I was a kid. And one car brought me to the next, and so on.
But recently I had to sell most of them to another collector because I was in an unexpected hurry, but lets not talk about it. What's important is that I still keep these ones as a reminder of my younger days and they're a direct line with my memories, my feelings, my friends and the dreams I had back those days.
It's easy to say "30 years has passed since then", but when you look back and see these little pieces of your past, you instantly get a connection with the previous you and the person you are today.
