The Four Doors of Perception

"My wife was not too happy about the choice of wallpaper!"

Guest post by Stuart Witts

Now those that know me will be well aware of my almost fanatical love of toys of all kinds. Plush. Vinyl. Die-cast. But up to this point I’ve been able to resist that drug like addiction to collecting.

Sure I was bitten by the LEGO minifigures bug and found myself ordering the few I couldn’t get, by normal means, through online dealers on eBay. But I’d always considered myself a selective purchaser. However, that was all to change when during an innocent Google image search for the Mad Max Police Interceptors (which, incidentally are amongst my most favourite movie cars) I came across a picture of a Hot Wheels Ford Falcon XB in Yellow (my favourite colour).

I must have it, I thought to myself. It was only a few pounds, what harm could it do? If only I had known.

As soon as I had pressed the buy button my mind started to wander off into thoughts of other movie cars that I had loved, what other delights awaited me on eBay. Before the day was over I had discovered (and purchased) ECTO-1 from Ghostbusters, the original Batmobile from the 60’s tv show and a 1957 Plymouth Fury more commonly known as ‘Christine’. But this was merely a taster compared to the large shipments that were soon to be winging their way to these shores.

You see the Ford Falcon is not just a movie car, but a representation of the classic muscle cars of the past. Charger. Mustang. Camaro. These are all names that send shivers down the spine of any red blooded male and if I couldn’t have them full size I was damn well going to own them in 1:64th scale.

And so it went on. Every car that turned up, every eBay search, every shipping confirmation email shot little sparks of ecstasy into my mind and sent me off on different paths of illicit discovery. Aston Martin. Porsche. All of the four wheeled pleasures I had ever dreamed of could be mine with the click of a mouse. It got so bad that when we would enter a shop and I spotted the shiny glint of that plastic garage containing another hit I would do what my partner described as my ‘Hot Wheels dance’.

Things finally came to a head when, after a particularly intense period of debit card abuse, a delay in the local postal service led to ten little boxes turning up on our doorstep at once. It was clear to everyone that I had a problem.

I’m feeling much better these days and have been clean for over two weeks. Sure I’ve had the odd slip, car boot sales are especially difficult, but the withdrawal symptoms are lessening and my kids have stopped whinging about how THEY never get any parcels...
