Helmutt Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Awesome weekends with my cousins spent crushing 2-liters of JOLT cola, rewinding our JX-7's and 440X2's, racing 3 different tracks that filled the bedrooms upstairs while running room to room like a pack of tweekin' crackhounds!!:lol: Oh yes, had this little rifle range but didnt work like we "thought" it should so the gun ended up an outdoor "war" toy:DSweet fun! I had 2 of these and they'd haul ass across the carpet until the collected hairball wrapped the rear wheel up tight......then it was 'Mom! This is broken....'I used to beg for Christmas paper and paper towel rolls to make my own rockets. No fancy parachutes on my rockets. Fast up and fast down like Surface to ground missiles.I played with model rockets quite a bit and 'devised' my own from a flashlight tube and a D-sized engine, but like you I didnt worry about a parachute - instead we crammed a roman candle in it with the report charge placed against the fuse......it blew up in 6 different colors:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMMW Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Who remembers the Nascar style car with the toolbox and impact wrench? The toolbox held the batteries and is was wired to the impact. That was for tire changes.You could also change the front fender for a crinkled one.I think the car was orange.I'm guessing it was a 70's toy.

junkyardjeff Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I had one of those gas stations that were made of metal back in the mid 60s and wish I had it back as they can bring a little money now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblosser Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Played with one of these ALL the time, the cab tilted so you could steer it, and it was the same size as the giant Tonka Trucks, so it fit right in: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Nothing like the real metal Tonka trucks, real metal cap guns, real metal and totally cool Hotwheels and Matchbox.......and I also had a green machine!!!!My brother and I had a Tonka "Transporter" when we were 7 & 8 yrs old that we could ride down the grass hill at the back of our house. Solid chunk of metal. Impossible to damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
