John Shaft beats Luke Skywalker hands down I always had decent pencil cases at kindergarten in Hong Kong and then when I started school in New Zealand. Usually they were car-themed but the _pièce de résistance_ was this one, far nicer than what my classmates in my new home country had. While other kids were into _Star Wars_ and things I had no interest in at that age, I could at least show off my badass side with my _Shaft’s Big Score_ pencil case. John Shaft isn’t going to muck around with pussy stuff like the force. I was thinking earlier tonight how cars were the one thing that helped me navigate Aotearoa when I got here with my parents. I might not have understood the culture immediately, and very little outside the faces of my family was familiar to me. But I saw Toyota Corollas (the E20s) and Honda Civics outside. And BMC ADO16s. These at least were an external source of familiarity, since they were commonplace in Hong Kong. A neighbour had a four-door Civic back in Homantin, the first car whose steering wheel I ever sat behind as a child. The cars here in New Zealand were much older generally, since there was more of a DIY fix-it culture, and Hong Kong prospered later, resulting in a newer fleet. Those early days were like a history lesson on what had gone before in the 1950s and 1960s, filling in the gaps. But my eyes still went to those newer 1970s shapes. Curves? Who wants curves when you can have boxy shapes and those groovy vinyl roofs?! I didn’t say I had taste at age four. **You may also like** * The journey out * On Cantonese, for Te Papa’s Chinese Languages in Aotearoa project * A concert that takes you home * Podcast for tonight: behind the scenes on _The Panel_ * You never know where your interests will take you * Alone again, naturally * First night * Capturing a buyer: some advice to Renault New Zealand
