Comments left:	Here's a Happy Holiday wish...I hope everyone who is searching for the name of their favorite memories is successful! I have three nameless obsessions. Number one, and top of the list is a series of Matchbox-sized toy cars from the mid-70s, but very unique because each one was an exaggerated human figure with wheels attached. One was in a sitting position, another was on hands and knees. They were all racers or hot rods. I believe each one had a name, like "Flyin' Freddie". Number two is a "tire", maybe half a foot in diameter, powered by a couple of D batteries. Turn it on, let it go and the thing would roll forward until it ran into something. No doubt a dull concept in the age of Wii, but it really got me curious about how things work. The last one, I think was called Time Bomb. This was a sort of a hot potato game that featured a round, black, plastic "bomb" with a yellow top and fuse. Turn the top to start the timer and pass the bomb around until the bombs buzzer sounded. Thanks in advance for any sightings/memories of said items.
