    My dad has been wanting me to post pics of his toys on here for a while now. So here they are. The all white one turns on and drives around in circles. He bought that car tore all to hell at a flea market in the early 90's and took it apart and repainted it and stuff.

    The other one is one of those cars that turns and goes the other way when it hits stuff. It appears to be a Grabber. They both say Bandi on the bottom. He's got more put up in boxes somewhere still from when we moved back in 2000.

    I have 2 of the white ones in only in pink. One of them is still in the box. I'd like to have the Goodyear one.

    Wow! I have never seen the Goodyear car, Jamie can you post a pic of the bottom of the car ( I have one that looks like that but it does not say Bandi on it) How about You Graig can you post a picture also?

    The windows on my car are dark red.

    OK, I have 2 cars that are similar to the white one only both are pink in color. Funny, grammar was the only thing I liked about English. Shows you how well I did in school.

    Yea, I can just barely remember when he bought it and I think it may have been pink originally also.

    Tom, I'll get a pic of the bottom first thing tomarrow. Don't have a key to the locked glass cabinate they are in! The Goodyear one clearly said Bandi on the bottom and also said something about "Art #".

    When we were little, dad's toys were off limits. :D

    Here's a pic of the bottom of the white one and the bottom of the Good Year one.

    Here's a few of the other ones he's got. The only ones that are plastic is the real old car at the very bottom and the big Mustang at the very top. All the ones inside the case are tin. He's got twice as many more and parts put up in boxes somewhere.
