Since there are no other posts here yet, why don't I start?

I picked this up yesterday, bit of a fluke I thought, as all other sets around it were mixtures of many makes. This set, being 2 great VWs, had to come home with me!

My model kombis. The keyring on the left is the only Bay model I've ever found! I use the moneybox on the right to save up for VW projects 8)

Very nice...but from my limited experience, you'll need a bigger moneybox....

Canberra VW Center Belconnen will be having a big VW car model sale over the coming month or so. There will be bucket loads of cars and a heap of rare models for sale at the event from his 20+ year private collection.

So watch this space :)
