I collect VW toys. I have been collecting VW toys for so many years now. I remember my very first VW toy. It was a Bus of course, a Lesney Bus. I bought it in Downtown Flosom during the street fair. As I remember it was 15.00 back then, which was expensive.

I also collected small liquor bottles. I at one time had over 150 different small liquor bottles as well as many other small bottles in my collection.


I also collect Ca Black plates for my shop wall art. If anyone would like to donate or sell any to me, PM me and we can talk. I just went out and counted and I have 81 total black plates right now. Thanks.

SO WHAT DO YOU COLLECT, VW RELATED OR NOT?

I guess I should have put my other hobby here....

 

[Rich Duncan Jr]

Lanky, very cool.

 

[ErikTheRed]

Whoa.... some old "nickel-plate" (as I knew them) Mongoose bikes .......... before Walmart and China took over.

A PK Ripper? Haven't seen one of those in at least 15 years.

Got a Redline? A Skyway? A Haro? A GT? Or an Elf, even? Damn, brings back some memories of all the popular BMX bikes from the 80's. I had a Panda. :-[

 

[ErikTheRed]

The one above the pk ripper is an Elf. My next project is going to be an early gt. I will post pics when I get it done!

 

[Rich Duncan Jr]

Jason, I got a bike to add to your collection. It does need a little work. It's missing the pedal on the right side. Maybe you have one laying around.

 

[Jason Lindquist]

LMAO, thats a girls bike!

 

[Rich Duncan Jr]

Dude you can fix that too, right???

 

[Jason Lindquist]

Lol, your killin' me Rich!

 

[Brian F]

thanks lanky... major mongoose flashbacks! i used to be the local bikeshop's parts 'tester' and they all went on my goose!

 

[Jason Lindquist]

That's my favorite bike! They are still fairly cheap and not very hard to find at all. I have built the black 81' supergoose, a 77', 78', 2-79's, 80', and an 80' team goose since the beginning of this year. Then I built an 87' Elf for my girlfriend.(the chrome one above) It's a lot of fun to do when I'm not doing vw stuff.

 

[ErikTheRed]

Only one kid in our neighborhood had an Elf. He was cool. 8)

Does dust and cobwebs count? If so, my race car sure makes a nice display case.

 

[Brian F]

i'd love to have a Panda with haro bars and Z rims as well. i loved my Z rims... saved me big $ to relace them myself vs. killing hd rims

 

[Brian Watts]
