Best buddies ride sidecar, everyone knows that. My mum found this ACME Couriers motorbike and sidecar duo a few weeks ago, she said it was my grandad's from years ago. A bit of research tells me this neat toy was reissued in 2010. It's pretty clear where I get my obsession with collecting things like this from, he had what now seems like a bottomless pit of oddities from all around the world.

These fellas now sit proudly on my desk, next to my collection of Bearbricks, staplers and notepads.

  4. My Dad has an insanely large collection of model cars. I always feel bad for him that neither me nor my brother or sister inherited any of his enthusiasm for hoarding, I mean collecting them...
