Just found another unique Volkswagen Bus product over at the wonderful Lazybone web site. It seems one of the latest crazes in the home computer world is the huge range of USB memory sticks available on the market and the VW Bus stick is sure to be a winner.
The majority of “novelty” memory sticks are made of plastic which in my opinion makes them look cheap and more of a toy than a useful took. Not so the VW Bus stick - these memory sticks are die cast and definitely a nice accessory to own. The lights will even flicker on and off when the unit’s plugged in and receiving data!
At just 256MB, storage capacity isn’t great , but is just enough to hold those essential files needed for everyday activities. The VW Bus is priced at $29.58, available in either Red or Green and comes complete with USB extension cable.
Kapowgifts, in operation since 1999, have a great selection of Volkswagen gifts and novelties including t-shirts, mugs, badges, bags, coasters and more.
One of my favorites is the Haynes retro-styled alarm clock based on the classic VW Transporter car manual design.
Priced at just £9.99 (approx. $19.50), the clock offers great value for money. Check out some of the other Volkswagen themed products available here.
This wonderful wooden Volkswagen Bus was created by master sculpture Lee Stoetzel who is:
very interested in the far-reaching power of nature.
The VW Bus is a one-to-one scaled 75″ x 165″ x 67 1/2″, and is crafted from pecky cypress wood and steel.
Stoetzel has a unique view of the environment and states:
We build houses and think that we have controlled space, yet nature winds its way into those materials. The sculptures I have built light up to emphasize the power of natural form.
Fancy owning the wooden bus? No problem….if you have $65,000 you can part with….
