I couldn’t find a specific topic, so here is a place to show off all those collectables in your Man Cave, or other safe space, that tend to have your significant other scratch their head ask “why are they spending money on that crap?”
I will post some of the other cool stuff that I have, but for now a shout out to the other WH40K fans (@Victork2). Picked this up today, because I had a morning to kill in a shopping mall while the VW was in for its scheduled service.
Nice keychain (the chainsword is 7cm long) so now there is no confusing what Tiguan fob belongs to who (SWMBO is still “Driver 1”)
I made the mistake of checking out the website though…
the bug assault could also be a great motivational tool for my daughters … “have you done the dishes yet? … no ( insert sound of bug assault being cocked )
Best collectable I ever saw was when I worked at Patrick AFB a dozen or so years ago.
One of the engineers had a trapezoidal piece of metal on his desk, larger than a laptop and very solid, fairly heavy.
Being who I am, I instantly recognized it as the canard wing of an AA-10 Alamo.
He wasn’t at this desk while I was there working on a printer or someone else’s PC, can’t recall, so I didn’t get to ask him where he got it.
This one is my favourite movie car. I’d do ANYTHING to own an XB coupe. I’m waiting for @Harry_Bumcrack to find me one and send it over piece by piece. But, he is hanging the job out a bit
I been on ebay for years and never found anything even close to worth having.
Meh, not gonna happen but still a cool car. Wish aussies still made cars. I’ve never had so much fun behind the wheel as my monaro was, the Xr6, falcon gt and Xr8’s i drove out there.
My lord they were epic motors compared to the boring stuff we get out here.
Perfect recipe for a true GT or sports sedan IMHO. Take a mid sized 4 door (with legroom in the back) stick a stonking great supercharged LS Chev V8 in the front, make it handle better than just about everything else in it’s class… A workmate had one of the last HSV Commodores - OMFG it was a beast.
Unfortunately, Not enough sportscar and too thirsty for (most of) Europe and not big enough for US touring. So they never really had international appeal, except for the Middle East!
I’m not really a big ford fan, always preferred the holdens, but you couldn’t argue the Falcons were some amazing competition for them out there. Some magical cars came out of that rivalry.
I looked up the registration of my monaro a while back and its still on the road with 155,000 on the clock. I had it from 20ish-45ish and it was belting fun. But looking at the MOT history on it, it was a solid motor that didn’t need a lot. Great cars. Shot up in value so much now that they aren’t worth having but i like to dream
