There are many collectors of miniature cars
It's not about Porsche suddenly, but the Nihon Keizai Shimbun on June 5, 2020 mentioned a person who is full of Tomica love.
That person is Mr. Yoshiaki Moriyama, and he owns more than 20,000 Tomica.
20,000 is a considerable number.
In the article (to publish a book of the Tomica collection), I understood how amazing the number was, "Even if the cameraman takes a day to shoot the Tomica I own, every week. It took more than half a year. "
You can see how amazing the number is. amazing.
And Mr. Moriyama, who bought Tomica for his son who was hospitalized at first, started to get interested in Tomica, and it seems that the collection started, but with Tomica love so far. After being collected, it eventually became known as "Mr. Tomica", and it seems that he is preparing to create a museum that summarizes the collection in the future.
When I read an article like this, I was impressed by the fact that "It's amazing, if you master the minicar collection so far, you'll be the only person, or you'll be mastered."
Porsche model car collector
And then, I said, "Mr. Moriyama had a collection of Tomica, but I'm sure there are awesome people all over the world who are collecting Porsche minicars / model cars and Porsche goods." I thought.
I thought, "Yeah, there must be some Porsche minicar collectors who are at an unusual level," and I thought, "I would like to know if there are such people."
I thought so on June 5, 2020, when the article about this Tomica collection was published.
Yeah, absolutely.
Porsche, reading my heart! !! !! (Oh, the beginning when a suspicious story seems to start suddenly ... ^^)
No, Porsche absolutely understands my feelings.
Because, after reading the newspaper of this Tomica article on June 5, 2020, I thought, "Porsche collectors somewhere in the world must be amazing. I want to know." When I looked at Porsche's official website, there was a new article that was not posted before reading the newspaper.
This is what I bought. ↓
That's right, the content is an introductory article about collectors such as amazing Porsche minicars! !! Impossible! What this coincidence.
It's true.
Indeed, both were posted on June 5, 2020. Oh, don't you doubt ^^
It's just a coincidence, but you know, my feelings.
When I suddenly thought, "I want to know about Porsche collectors," Porsche immediately posted the answer at that time.
What is this, this is already my heart.
I saw the process of creating a bad person who was overly self-conscious and misunderstood that he was thinking of the other person (laughs)?
That's good, but since Porsche introduced me to the Porsche collector in this way, I would like to see it easily ^ ^
The full article can be found here:A life revolving around Porsche
This Porsche collector wants to be anonymous, so I will call it Alberto for the time being. He was born in Stuttgart.
He owns more than 1,000 1/43 scale Porsche model cars alone.
Race cars are here, rally cars are here, and so on.
Of course, there are 8 generations of 911s and even the first 356 models announced in 1948.
He also went to visit the grave of Ferry Porsche, the founder of Porsche, and at that time he asked his wife, "If I die, I want you to sprinkle ashes here (around Ferry Porsche's grave). I heard that he once asked.
Wow, more than I want to be cremated with Porsche (too sick), this seems like a rather realistic wish that is no longer a delusion, and I feel serious (laughs).
It seems that his wife will not move even if such a thing is said, is it such a strange thing about Mr. Alberto's Porsche? He seems to be enjoying seeing his husband having fun, including plans. It seems that his wife is not interested in cars at all.
Even though I'm not interested in myself, it's a wonderful couple to recognize such a wonderful collection and Porsche love of my husband and enjoy it together ^ ^.
And when you hear such a story, do you pretend not to see that I am writing this metamorphosis Porsche blog? I am also grateful to my husband (laughs).
Alberto's collection is not limited to 1/43 scale model cars, there are model cars of various sizes including Lego models, and there are various things related to Porsche anyway.
The office chair he is using is said to have been made by Alberto himself by attaching an arm etc. to the original Porsche seat. It's also amazing to make it.
Anyway, his collection is lined with rare Porsche items, the word Porsche and the crest, with pictures, backpacks, commemorative coins, banners, notes, trash cans, pens, on the menu of the restaurant at the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen. To reach.
yeah? Restaurant menu?
a,Porsche rider I met before, I remembered that the paper napkin I got at the Porsche Center was also preserved. Yeah, the feelings for maniac collection are universal (laughs). Porsche love ^ ^
Oh yeah, Alberto's collection has hundreds of books about Porsche, and not only those, but also many rare ones.
For example, Porsche 935 bodywork, Porsche tire scraps used during the 12-hour endurance in Sebring, sand in the Tenere Desert in Paris Dakar, 24-hour endurance Le Mans circuit tarmac (part of the paved road), Monaco Grand Prix Part of the curb of. amazing.
Really, somewhere in the world, there are people who collect something in detail. After all, Porsche also came. I'm kind of happy ^^
No, even so, it was a day when I became enthusiastic with Porsche, and it was a day when I was surprised and happy ← I still misunderstand ^ ^.
