The other day, someone at HotWheelsCollectors.com asked collectors to “Show Off The First Super T-Hunt You Ever Set Free”. It made me think as I did not have much luck finding any supers in 2007 (the first year of the Super Treasure Hunt). So I began to wonder […]
The Volkswagen Type 181 was originally manufactured for the West German Army, but also sold to the public from 1968 to 1983. It was meant to be a small off-road military vehicle but its “uniqueness” created enthusiasts that cherish this car to this day. Known by many names, the […]
