Hello VW fans,

I am requesting your help as to the perfect gift for one of the world's biggest VW fanatics (aka bajawes). Please help me!:(

A big shed, lots of tools, a frige and a TV. :D

Maybe replace some of his worn out hand tools like sockets and stuff.

PS2 or Xbox??

A kombi!! :thumb

Then next time I see you on the beach, you won't be crammed into a little baja with all your camping gear! :D

cheers

Thank you for your help so far.

I replaced tools last year, and he has a big shed with TV and fridge already. Hes not really a combi person and he keeps telling me that the engine transplant will be completed before the new year

He has the shed, TV and fridge. Sounds like Off Road videos and beer is all thats required. Wrap the cans induvidually to give him plenty to unwrap on the day.
Oh cool a beer
Oh cool a beer
Oh cool a beer:bounce:bounce

He borrows the following stuff of me :

300 mm callipers,
9" angle grinder
Ability to drive fast without rolling :D

So maybe you could help him out there, other useful items are :
1/4" drive socket set
timing light
screw driver set ( never have enough ) and
A buggy ....

It is so cute to have our first ette on the forum, Jen would rather eat live animales than actually read a vw forum :cry

How about a breadmaker brandishing a VW logo? Or a frying pan set with VW logos on the handles? Or a vacuum cleaner appearantly made by VW?

These are probably some of the things on my wife's gift list for what she's getting me...

I can send you a couple of VW logos, then just stick them on whatever will get you the most household productivity out of him. Remember, it's better to give than to receive, if you give the thing you'll get the most use from...

Well it seems like Wes has just about everything he needs (and if he doesn't have it Brad does) so I have only one other suggestion ...................

refer to the "Human VW Logo" thread !!

hehehe :D

Hows about you take a posed photo of the baja in a nice setting, get it enlarged, stuck in a nice frame ? ? Always a good idea.

Of course, individually wrapped beer is a bloody good idea too !!

hey bajawes_ette,

have you thought about a coupla vw books to sit on the coffee table at home? even if he's not a big reader.. the pictures are worth it! :) recommended read - evolution of the vw beetle, not a massive book, but a cool read for any vw enthusiast.

good luck! :sandrine

Yianni.

Okay - you've all been a big help with the ideas. My next question is (keeping in mind that I am a clueless female :) ) where is a good place (I mean as well as than Micks Motors) to get this items.

I do like the sound of the tools, books and videos (even though he does have a well stocked library that I so nicely indexed for him last year) but what is good. Should I consider a gift voucher?
