#1 Christmas ideas

Post by Herzeg » Mon Oct 02, 2017 2:41 pm

I know it's too early, men start their shopping around the 23rd December but I just received a birthday present from my son that showed an imagination his exam results don't attest to. :wow:

He made surprise visit back from University and presented me with a jigsaw of my E-Type

Shame about the location, a certain chop shop in Hertfordshire

It's by Ravensburger and the quality and fit of the pieces is excellent. He sent the image online and five days leter it was delivered from Germany.

No idea of the cost, it was a present after all. :thumbsup:

What a great idea. I can certainly think of someone who would like this (non E-Type related mind you), but wasn't aware that jigsaws can be personalised. That being said, most other things can be!

Does the puzzle come in a bunch of ziplock bags labelled "To plate", "To paint", "To replace" etc?

I thought with puzzles you need a bag marked "pieces to lose" :lol:

Oh, I already have a puzzle, but it‘s way more then 500 parts, thats the carbs alone....

Had a look for the price. Don‘t want to spoiler it here, so- you can buy 22 ltrs of fuel (Super) in germany.

They are available in up to, hold your breath, 2000 ! parts, and it can be bought either in a cardboard box or in a metal container.

Nice idea !
