Hey everyone,
I need help! My boyfriend is a mad vw fanatic and every year I'm at a loss as to what to get him for his birthday. He sometimes gives me a list of
parts, but that never seems to work out - either I dont understand what hes talking about or cant find it, and I dont want to just give him cash.
But this year I want to get him something he'll love, and something that I can get without asking him obvious questions (I want it to be a surprise).
Budget would be a max of $500.
I also dont want to give too much info away because he's also on this forum and he might figure out its me, so I cant answer too many questions about
his bug. (Also I dont know a lot of the answers).
Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Before buying any gift for a male VW enthusiast ask 3 questions:
Will it help look after his VW?
Will it make his VW go faster/look better ?
Is it a Porsche?
If you cant answer yes to any of these questions, you are better of just giving him his present in bed.
Cheers
This website has a heap of stuff on it

You could also look into an R/C version of his pride an joy. Ebay has them all the time.
Once you have an actual classic VW, it is a slippery slope into collecting toys of VWs, Games of VWs, magazines, books, posters, clothing etc.
I've been sliding down it for months now. I don't care where it leads, I'm just enjoying the ride!

On top of these other ideas ... Why don't you take a photo of his car to an artist and have them make a large painting of it for him. Present it to him framed. Good luck. |
Volkswagen Australia has a nice range of interesting things for the VW fan:

I got very disappointed yesterday. The girl who helped me move my '56 bought me a 1:37 scale '67 model and said they all look the same. To be honest I would have preferred a 1:1 scale GTI. Anything less was probably not going to cut it.
Ever heard of the gift horse and its mouth?
i'm getting bilsteins this sunday (it's my birthday not fathers day for me... I hope not yet anyway 
)
