Up close and personal with their dream cars

Most boys love the fast lane - and fast cars. However, not all kids can own their dream car - or even go for a spin in one. Friday takes four children on a face-to-face with their dream cars

If little girls like Barbies, little boys have a soft spot for hot wheels. Not many little girls find it very interesting to collect toy cars or discuss the latest cars with friends or read about them. Most boys, on the other hand, are passionate about them.

Fast cars make the world go round for these little boys. Indeed, they may not be reading their textbooks so intently as they read anything related to cars.

They consider their parents' cars as practical and nice, but not the ones they would like to buy when they grow up. They would rather have something more fashionable and trendy. Friday caught up with four little boys and gave them joyrides in their dream cars. We tried to find out what is it about cars that drives these children crazy:
