Title: Old car toys
Post by Highlander on Dec 29^th, 2010, 3:36pm

This ones been bothering me for ages!! ;D

When I was young I got a pair of toy cars on Christmas that you drove into each other and all the bumpers/doors/wings etc fell off then you rebuilt them.

It wasnt "Smash-up-Derby" but similar, I'm sure one car was red and one was blue

Despite many hours of Googling I cant find the name of it! >:(

Anyone remember? was probably around the mid 1970's to the very early 80's

I remember one from the late 80's called "Crash Test Dummies" or something similar, had doors and panels that fell off when you crashed them. Not as satisfying as crashing a car made from Lego Technics but much easier to put back together afterwards ;)

They were coloured grey as I remember, had yellow stickers and a crash dummy sitting inside.

I remember one Christmas wanting a set of those so badly, never did get them. My best mate Adam got a set, I was sick with envy :-/

I think Dad just thought I was reckless enough already ;D

Hey, there's a lack of 'equality' there! What if you're the younger brother and you always get the blasted Beetle? I hope there's a bias towards the Beetle when they hit each other? ;D

Are you implying that to be a taxi driver you must be proficient at Stock Car Smash-up?
