Any VW related Christmas presents under your tree?
Craig S - December 25th, 2009 at 09:05 PM

I'm afraid that the only vw related presents I got were some t-shirts that I had to order (and then surrender to my lovely wife for wrapping) from red bubble.

But I'd love to get envious hearing about what other people got?

Any 356s under the tree? :dork:

Craig, who's VW designs did you buy from Redbubble? My girlfriend Mel has a few up there and goes under the name of MelodyArt. It's be a bit cool if you picked a few of them up! :)

I ended up with a Splitty 2010 Calendar, one of Mel's own Redbubble designed Kombi Karma t-shirts, a Golden Breed Lowlight/Beetle/Splitty t-shirt and a fold-out table to be added to my Kombi's camping gear. :cool:

Hi Julian,

Yes one of the T-shirts I got was a 'MelodyArt' one. It was the one with the gear shift pattern. I just hopped back on and noticed that there are some new designs. I was pretty impressed by the whole redbubble site, everything arrived as ordered and on time.

The only non-VW T-shirt I got today was a Beatles "Abbey Rd" one which, as any true geek will tell you, has a Beetle in the back ground, so even then there was a VW in there.

Nice! You have good tastes, sir. :cool:

The gearshift designed shirt was one of the first ones that Mel made up. (and is still one of my faves :)) The gear shift graphic was taken from a photo of the ashtray in our '75 Kombi Panel.

I've just passed it on that someone bought one of her designs for Chrissy, and she's a little bit chuffed! :D

Julian.

I got a vw parking only sign and vw seatbeltcovers from my aunty. I also recieved a mug with a splitty on and a metalic green ornament for hanging on the Christmas tree.

The golden breed tshirts that you fine chaps are speaking about come from kmart, I purchased myself one on wednesday! I also got a mustard one with just a splitty. The Abby road shirts are from target, I sold some the other night and made a mental note to buy one. I have heaps of vw shirts now!! :)

merry Christmas all.
