Reventon - My First Lamborghini

Merry Christmas Readers :)

Thanks for your support in 2017 and in the past too. For the auto enthusiasts, you already know that only 20 Reventon's have been made, so what am I talking about? I just bought a scaled die-cast model of Lamborghini Reventon. Also, this is the first supercar to go into my collection. Ok, I bought a die-cast car, millions of kids do, what's the big deal? I don't know about the big deal, it is just that I wanted to make a permanent note of this day and the story and share it with my near and dear ones.

When I was a small kid, I used to like Ferrari and BMW's. It is only in recent years that I took notice of Lamborghini and Aventador became my favorite. I don't have a specific reason to justify that why Aventador is my fav, I just like the name. I read a bit more about Aventador and fell more in Love with that.

I have couple of friends who are auto-enthusiast and one of them has a really good collection of die-cast models. After watching his collection, I wanted to own a die-cast Aventador immediately. I also wanted a special story to go with my purchase. I searched the internet and found that it was not all that cheap to buy a good scale model. Coming back to present and skipping what happened in between, I am happy to announce that my Lamborghini Aventador is on its way. There is a really good story behind it and I'll save it for some other post.

Merry Christmas in the morning and I was still not having any supercar with me. Since it was a holiday, my flatmate, Kartik, and I decided to go to a mall for some shopping. In the mall, we went to Hamley just for fun. While roaming we landed in the Die-cast cars section and were surprised to see the collection. Ferrari, Ford, Merc, Lamborghini and what not. 1:18, 1:24 scaled models. We spent nearly 40 mins scanning all the models. Today I was sure to pick a car, but it couldn't be Aventador. It was a couple of days back that I made arrangements to get the Aventador.

I liked a couple of Ferrari's there but still, I wasn't sure about which one to buy. There were dozens of Ferrari and half a dozen of Lamborghinis. I liked Ferrari California-T but came to know that it wasn't great for performance. Since I didn't have any particular favorite model in Ferrari, I decided to buy a Lamborghini. There was Huracan, Countach, Murcielago, Reventon, etc. I scanned all model and took help of Kartik to finally land on Reventon. It is only after the purchase that I realised that only 20 of these models have been made. I still have a long wait to go in terms of Supercar knowledge.





Car purchase was the main highlight of the day, thanks to Kartik too for helping me out. The other good things that happened today book purchase. Also, it was my Crush ka Birthday today ;) I learned and played Jingle Bells Guitar Tabs for someone. I turned more positive today as compared to yesterday. I don't see any big deal in this post, you may ask. Frankly speaking, I don't see a big deal either. I am just trying to write from a Kids point of view. how would she/he describe the first car purchase event. I want you to think of something similar events in your past and some events in 2017 too. Put down your story in the comment section below. Bring out the Child in you and open up.

For my regular readers - one or two more post will be coming up in next week so stay tuned. One will be regarding Sandy's 2017 and another one will be about what to expect in 2018 from Sandy.

Enjoy the Week and Party Harder
