The Very First Car

Minion Stuart

The first car that Michael had and this is how he wrote in his diary.

" Today, I went to cinema to see the movie “despicable me” with my mom and dad. There were minions in the movie. I like them. After the movie, we went to shopping. I saw the car in the movie, and it looks very lovely. So we bought it home, this is the first car I have. I’m so happy today."

Treasure Hunting

Fire Truck---Volkswagen Amarok

" My family went to a beach party with Matthew’s family. Matthew is my best friend. On the beach we played beach volleyball and built sand castles. We also played the game treasure hunting on the beach. This is the fire truck I found in the beach, and it is also buried by Matthew. I like it, and Matthew will be my best friend forever."

Moving

Pickup Truck---1971 Volkswagen Type2

" We are moving to a new place. The new home is a very beautiful place, and our new house is huge. But I think I would miss my neighbours, and the park I go to every day. Mom and Dad packed everything in boxes and loaded it in a truck. On the last day in my old house, my mother gave me this toy truck and we watched Winnie the Pooh. After we said goodbye to the old house, we drove into the new house together with this new truck."

We didn’t realise we were making memorise, we just knew we were having fun. – Winnie the Pooh

Going to a new School

School Bus District 3

" I am going to a new school, meeting new classmates. I am a little nervous because I don't know if I will make new friends. But I am also a little excited, because I am curious about the new environment. Mom and Dad gave me this school bus on the first day of new school, hoping to bring me good luck. With their blessing, I went to the new school and ready to face a new start."

Every adventure requires a first step. – Alice In Wonderland

The Unwanted Car

1971 Volkswagen Type2

" I joined a competition for car racing, but I didn't win the championship and the award: an limited edition of hot wheels. I only got a mini bus for participations. I am very upset. My mother comforted me that small bus can also be an unique collection. There will be all kinds of memories in the collection, including happiness and sadness. The meaning of life is not always being a winner, I think I understand the meaning for competitions."

When life get you down do you wanna know what you've gotta to do? Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Swimming, swimming... – Finding Nemo

Mommy’s Dream Car

Volkswagen Beetle

" Mom bought her dream car---Volkswagen Beetle. This is the car that my mother has always dreamed of. We were all happy for her, and I also wanted to have my own car like my mother one day. I shared this idea with my parents, and they hope I can achieve my wishes when I grow up. I got up the next day and I saw a new gift on my nightstand."

Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.– Lilo & Stitch

It’s Christmas!

" Christmas is here! ! It is the time to receive a lot of presents from families, including the gift that my grandparents sent from the United States. The postman brought love and blessings to our home. I also received a special gift from Santa Claus under the Christmas tree. "

My Career In The Future

The Police Car---1974 Ford Torino

" Today we talked about the people we want to be in the future in class. Some students want to be astronauts, pilots or ballerinas. When it was my turn to answer, I told everyone that I wanted to be a policeman. I like to read detective stories, and I think the uniforms of the police that they wear are very cool. My parents told me that if I want to be a policeman I must be brave and good at observation and thinking. After finishing my speech on my dream career, I received this police car gift from my parents to inspire my future dreams."

Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.– The Land Before Time

About the creator & the story behind

About the Creator

Michael is the son of a homestay I have lived in. He loves to collect car models, and he knows all the information about car models in his collection. He can remember the stories of how his car were collected, and each story is vivid and interesting. This becomes the inspiration for me to build this website. The website tells the story from a child's perspective, but it also includes the growth of a person.

About the Cars

There are some links to buy some of the car models in the collection, however, some of them now only have information from the official website.
