Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

Every Saturday participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is METAL.

Here is my other entry for metal, a die-cast metal Matchbox Ford GT.

My son loves to collect car toys, like other boys his age. He does not get cars though that are not real-car models. Being a “veteran at age 5” of several cars’ makes and engine names, he definitely knows the stuff that make cars interesting.

He can talk about these cars with my husband using terms that I don’t know about. He can even give stats on speed (of cars he prefers) and what-have-yous. Dyno run? He can explain what that means :D

Anyway, here is another die-cast metal toy, this time from Tomica, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.

Tomica’s Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.

Do you want to see how the real one looks like?

There it is, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. Watch how it runs here.

I sure hope your Thanksgiving weekend is doing great. Remember, there is so much to be thankful for.

Your sons toy car looks very realistic. Sounds like a fun hobby. I’m sure I wouldn’t know the terms he uses to talk about them either. Happy Weekend.

Very cool! My brother had tons of toy cars, both Matchbox cars and something called Hot Wheels. I liked to play with them too, sometimes.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend (and thanks for the reminder about being grateful!).

Have a great weekend with your family and yes indeed, we should all take the time to be thankful for many things.

My son collected toy cars and owned more than a hundred of them. I gave them away when he grew older.

btw, did you receive your prize for the BAK2U anti-phone theft contest?

Hi Teacher Julie. I guess it’s a boy thing – my 4 year old nephew is also into cars! He’s bugging us to get him more cars, especially remote-controlled ones, for Christmas :)

My brother bought a blue Evo X several months ago. He used to own a Mitsubishi Eclipse. My brother has always been into cars. My hubby would love to own an Evo X too but it’s not in our budget. We can afford the toy one though. :)

Hello Julie. My hubs loves cars too. I do too but to a certain extent. Like you I don’t know the terms and everything else about cars, lol. But surprisingly my daughter learns easily about cars.

Off topic: Seems we’re all busy. When do we have our spa and holiday party? :D

Fun, fun, fun! Any excuse to get down and play with the youngsters is a good one! My nephew and I build towns out of blocks and we drive everywhere ;-)

Boys just seem to gather car information out of thin air! If only they learned everything so well!!

Black is a nice color, Leslie :)

Thanks :)

That’s a funny thought, JMB, yes he is saving for one, but its a toy and not the real thing :D

julie said:

I’m with you on that Elaine :D

5 Dec, 2008 @ 12:37 pm
julie said:

Oh yeah, it was a metal theme too, lol! That’s why I was expecting to see those photos from you again, haha!

Nice rides you got there, Colin :)

5 Dec, 2008 @ 1:11 pm
julie said:

Aw, you gave them away? Those would be nice to have as a remembrance,unless they are all dented and worn out like my son’s toy cars :D

I won?! Woohoo! I’m gonna did the email in my files, must have slipped my notice, lol.

I agree about the boys, ZJ. My son is not much into remote-controlled cars, he would rather have the smaller models to fill his “city” :)

5 Dec, 2008 @ 10:40 pm
julie said:

Awww, your brother really loves cars. I think I saw you post his pic one time with his Eclipse. And now its an Evo X? Wow!

Lynn, I noticed that the calendar in your laundry shop is Top Gear, that’s one of Julian’s favorite shows :D

5 Dec, 2008 @ 10:45 pm
julie said:

I’d love that too, its way safer than the real one :D

5 Dec, 2008 @ 10:48 pm
julie said:

I agree, JC,my son loves this size to add to his collection to play in his “city” :)

5 Dec, 2008 @ 10:54 pm
julie said:

Yeah, the real one would be good to have if only its not that expensive, :D

I agree Liz, nice point :D
