pie-eater 207 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Before kids had computers, ipads, mobile phones and sports cars to play with, there were innocent and fun 'toys'. Here's some I used to love Evil Kneivel Whirlybird Link to post Share on other sites

smostyn 1 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Pie Eater, I had one of those Evil Kneivel bikes! I have tried ot explain it a number of times to people but my explanations never do it justice! That thing was great. I used to have smash up derby cars too. Link to post Share on other sites

brit-gob 9 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I used to love my model train kit. Wasn't impressive but spent hours with it. Wish I had it or photos Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 My parents never let me go wild with one of those, wanted to though. Do kids still play with model trains much these days? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 I would guess less than before. They have sexy things like video games and computers now. My brother had a train set. It was basically an oval. Not terribly exciting! Link to post Share on other sites

peterson 0 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Evil Knievel! My older brother used to have that one, used to love playing with it. That brought back some memories! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yes 25 quid. A real bargain. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Looks cool. What you want though is a metre-long beast. Friend of mine is into the remote control vehicles, he has an amazing helicopter. Massive he thing is, he won't let anyone else touch it. Don't blame him actually! Link to post Share on other sites
