RE: Fun blocks, big cost - The LEGO Saga

Yeah, that's why I asked if you've never seen people in different shops digging in the Hot Wheels box π Once a month, we go to different shops and look through the boxes...it's a treasure hunt π It's worth it, some of them are really expensive when you sell them :) Oh, I know too much about this. What's wrong with me ππ I'm not so young anymore, but there's still a child in me π
But it's funny how before young people never appreciate vintage cars, but now when they see prices, everyone wants to have it π€¦ββοΈ my neighbour had old beetle when I was young and I was always so happy driving in it, just like you said, like president :) and then few years ago I meet my friend and her boyfriend has old red beetle...I was going crazy π He needed to drive me, there was no other option for him π Im making plans to make some good videos with drone while me and my friend driving...im really intresting how does videos will look like π€
Guessing I'm the weird one, but when I see something, I buy it, did give away few to nephews, that would look amazing!
I dare you two to do a short video :)
Yes, they are the perfect gift for kids. I'm lucky, all my friends have little boys, so they're always happy with those gifts, and I don't need to complicate things π Oh, believe me, we will make this video, but first, we need to have a long conversation with her boyfriend to approve two women driving his baby car π I hope I will be the one driving π I'm the careful one, and she is a freaking reckless driver π€
I don't remember ever being in one, a few relatives had it way over 20 years ago, I've driven in many different cars, drove hundreds of fresh new cars, but nothing comes close too the old classics.
Better be the smart and safe behind the wheel, than sorry :)
Perhaps when I move back to Slovenia, I'll have a chance to buy an electric beetle π But at the moment, it doesn't seem like they'll manufacture it π€ but I'm still holding onto hope π
There are companies rebuilding them and making 'bolt on' conversion kit's for the old Beetle :)
So, I'm a girl and I don't think I completely understand what you mean with this π Are they taking parts from other cars and using them for old beetles? π€ I also translated this sentence, but I'm still not sure what you mean π Please don't laugh π
There are companies out there that similar to engine swapping, they are converting Beetles and other types of classic's to electric power with electro motor. Bolt on is something you buy in the shop and bolt right up like it was meant to be for it. To bolt right on Beetle without your need of fabricating, welding... You, well a mechanic can easly put everything together.
Of course Beetle was made to be simple enough that everyone were their own mechanics back in the old days. So yes, there is a possibility, Try and google it up :)
I understand now π google helps πWhat happened to me yesterday, I still can't believe it π I've never driven an old car, and then yesterday, I'm driving to the store, and there's a Golf 1 on the road. I see a guy standing outside, so I stop and ask him if there's something wrong. He says the car won't turn on. Then I sit in the car, and he pushes me so we manage to start it up ππ How easy is this to drive π A really perfect old-timer :)) So now I'm ready to drive the Beetle πͺ
Thought's become things :)
Amazing experience it must have been! Good to hear you two managed to get it running again, guessing it wasn't a regular golf, but aye a perfect example.
It was a Golf 1 from the year 1974 πͺI was looking at the prices, and they are not cheap, so I believe it's a great investment, of course, if you have time to repair it every now and then π
Oo lovely, ha time, tools, repairs and garage storage all cost a lot as well :)
I had a very rare Passat G60 from 1990 that was more like a project and sadly didn't find a garage for it, but grateful I found a perfect match to daily driving
Happy for you that you got a taste of old classic car, how did the door closing, opening feel? π
Having an old car is pretty expensive now. Oh, opening the door? Just like on a Yugo!π those were the cars of my childhood βΊοΈ
Hehe all mechanical with clicks and bangs, it's funny in US they called Yugo the most unreliable car in the world, but they still run, work till today :)
I was watching a documentary about Yugoslavia and the space program... and apparently, the USA lent us money for this program, but Tito was lying, we didn't have any program π So, we paid them back with Yugo cars π Not so long ago, I had a Die Hard movie marathon, and then you see Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson driving a Yugo and cursing, "What is this for a car?... It's built to be economical, not for speed"π
Haha! Amazing π€£
