Now I think all of us have a toy or two of the T3. I wanted to get a thread going dedicated to just that.
I played around a bit with this old thread, but it was only about the one I built.

Today while cruzin the pics I came across this guy. VW-Typ3-Modellcarscheune

What T3 toys do you have-mods or not? _________________

Here's my desk at work. VW's and Homies. I don't have room on my desk for all my Homies so I just put out a bunch of them.

You need help Chris On your desk at work eh |
Fortunately for me I have a pretty large desk, so I have the room for my toys. My boss suggested making shelves on the walls for them, we'll see.
Last week a lady came in with her two boys and I left my desk for a minute and came back to find one of the boys with all my cars on the floor playing with them! We put them back immediately.
On another note, this is my 777th post! Woohoo! _________________ 2017 Golf Alltrack

I've got some of the models y'all have (like the incorrectly modeled Dubs). A little different ones...
The red one is metal from Brian Fye. The black ones have "Brekina" under them. All nicely detailed, even the bottom, and they roll:
My $5000 piston with a Brekina on top:
Pewter TIII key chain and my original keys:
A black, red, and orange TIII tie tacks:
I like the period advertisements and have a few framed. I also found this at the Portland Saturday Market many years ago. It's a tie-dye:
