Hello,
My name is Paul Rozell and of course I go by Firehawk73. The reason for the name is becuase I have a passion for Firebirds and Trans Ams and I particularly like SLP Firehawks and I was born in '73. I don't have a Firehawk Firebird but I m not dead yet.....LOL
I am married and have 2 children. One is about to turn 5 years old in Feb. and my youngest son will be turning 1 year old in March.
I have been a collector of small and large diecast off and on for about 16 years now. I was a big HWs collector when I first started off but my love in Johnny Lightning won me over. Now, I am not so brand specific of lately and I know longer try to complete sets if the cars in the sets are not to my liking. Which I pretty much only pick up the cars I like. Right now I am on a supercar kick and I have picking up Ferraris (my main love in that scene), Lamborghinis and etc.
At one time I was a chase car collector but I no longer have any passion or need for them in my collection unless they fall into what I collect and if they are nicely done. I am not a hater of such collectors because I was once one of them. I just no longer feel the need to chase after chase.....LOL
I wish I could tell you how many cars I have in my collection but I don't keep count nor do I keep inventory of them. Which I should but I have so many of them it would be more of an overtaken to try to do that right now. I am in the process of keeping a picture record of what I have in one of my photobuckets but I am doing that only when time permits and when I am in the mood. Lets say I am in no big hurry. It will get done eventually.
My focus of my collection is the fore mentioned european cars, TV/Movie cars, most Pontiacs,most Chevrolet vehicles especially their trucks, muscle cars of the 60's through present, old luxury cars like Cadillac and Lincolns, and the most important is my love for Batmobiles especially the 1966 Batmobiles. I have alot of side collectons too but that would take me forever to list them. Lets just say I am a big lover of the automobile and my collection, I think, reflects that. I am also open to new brands as long the cars they offer has realism to them and they are able to fit in a Jammers case. I am a loose collector at heart but space does not always give me the luxury of having them all in the open. So, most of my mainline Hot Wheels stay carded and I open up the more expensive cars for either display or put in cases. I know that sounds alittle backwards as for keeping a collection like that but if I pay more for quality and percision. I want to see it and feel it and not look through a plastic blister. Thats my logic anyways....LOL
I don't what else to say other than I have a good reputation on other boards and I have no doubt I will have one here too. I am a real lay back person and not so easy to anger. I guess you can say I can play nice with others.....LOL
