From Foxy to FOXA - 190516Th

From Foxy to FOXA   . Version: 190516Th (A continuing idea in it's various stages of evolution) . Next versions: FOXA - Car of my Dreams - 201219Sa Version: 201219Sa . Volkswagen Beetle (foxy) was the first car our father purchased in late 1960's. During those days we were living in Kotli AJK as during those days our father was posted as Major in Field ambulance kotli AJK. Then Kotli was a very small beautiful city situated between two mountains and beside one river. Memories of that time are still almost fresh in my mind although I was in 2nd class then. . We traveled a lot on that red car and also enjoyed doing so very much. Sometimes we used to go to Rawalpindi for doing shopping. Sometimes we used to go to different cities to meet our relatives and/or father's friends. Often we used to go to different nearby areas for picnic. . And after so many years I still enjoy telling stories of/about that red foxy car to my 5 year old niece ishi and she also enjoy. Plus whenever I found any foxy car parked in our neighborhood or parked near any park we visit I show that foxy to ishi. Ishi always takes a lot of interest in those foxy cars, first because once her grandfather also had foxy car and second because of the unique shape of foxy car and third because I tell stories about foxy to her. . About one decade ago while I was doing some kitchen work in lawn of our home some ideas visited my mind. Then I was taking out slugs from flower-beds and flower-pots and collecting them in another pot and at the same time I was also observing slugs in some details. . One thing I observed was that slugs were very much looking like chicken liver. Slug’s resemblance to chicken liver gave me an idea that why not we make farms of slugs on large scale and use them as food. May be this idea came across my mind because I like chicken liver very much. (I do not know slugs are eatable or not.) . Second thing I observed was that slugs were very aerodynamic in shape. Because since my childhood I was making drawings of cars we had, aerodynamic shaped slug’s design and their look alike foxy’s design somehow got mixed in my mind. This in-mind mixing created a new design for car. . To achieve car design looking like slug, I in imagination cut two foxy cars right after their first row of seats and then joined, back parts of both cars together. To me that design looked very interesting but that effort ended then and there. I never even tried to convert that idea to drawing. . Then a few months ago my interest in Foxy car again elevated to new heights because of two un-related almost simultaneous events. Reason number one for my new found interest in foxy car was German ambassador to Pakistan and his foxy car. Reason number two for my new found interest in foxy car was that during cleaning old books of my father I found purchase voucher of my father’s foxy car in one of his diaries. For some days I even remained interested in searching for that car of us via internet. . Good thing is that I am already revising/practicing Microsoft Paint, for some time, so that I can easily guide my niece ishi during her learning/playing session with computer. So I decided to give my above mentioned idea of car design based on Slug and Foxy a try. I quickly searched on net found a useful drawing of Foxy car and started converting that drawing to my idea. Ishi also took part in this adventure and enjoyed the experience very much. She is also persuading me to buy foxy car and I am thinking about bringing one foxy car on rent for some days so that ishi can enjoy. . Following image is the end result or finished product of above described sessions of imaginations. . . . . Although I was thinking of making entire drawing myself but ended up in above drawing based on another free drawing I found on internet. All this happened because of my laziness. Surely I will make complete drawing myself and put that drawing in it's place. . After making above drawing my new task was to give some name to this new car-of-imagination design. First I named it “Foxy Automobile” then “Foxy Auto” then “FoxAuto” then “FoxA” and then “FOXA”. . [ To be continued . . . ] . .
