Car Room Magazine's PLAYING WITH CARS: Sunstar's

A golden oldie! One of the original series of "Playing With Cars" videos - a review of Sunstar's outrageous 1:12 Volkswagen "Samba" bus!
Look for more of these older reviews on KZbin and on Car Room TV!

Don't know what J.D. Kelly is doing these days but I sure wish he was still posting KZbin videos. Been a few years since he last did so. His enthusiasm is infectious and I always enjoyed his reviews.

[@ubiased23]

[@jasontomica8938]

@1999lev You won't be disappointed! In fact, we just did a review of the beetle cabriolet this week - check out our channel page for the latest episode of Car Room Report to see the car. Thanks for watching!

[@Thecarroom]

@gossey31 Thanks, man! Good to be here.

[@elainericketts8820]

it has either the WRONG TAIL LIGHTS or the WRONG front TURN SIGNALS...they were never produced with this combination.

[@Gunny426HemiPlymouth]

Hey, checking back in. Glad to see this is still up. I had gotten myself the green and tan 57 11 window, and the 1950 split window beetle and have enjoyed them for years now.

[@Thecarroom]

@legr8est1234 Yeah - the price went up a tick to around $200.00, though - this is an older video. Still a lot of bang for the buck.

[@bttfspencer]

I really like your show, thankyou. :)

[@Thecarroom]

@compound32 It really depends on the model, the weight, and the structure beneath. Some models have accurately sprung suspensions - they ride and compress at a rate and height that replicates the real vehicle's. Some are stiffly sprung, and some others have no suspension at all - we call these "static" suspensions. Others have loose fitting pieces that can make the wheels kick out (like the Shelby you're talking about), or look wrong. Is the model you got one from the Shelby Collectibles line?

[@Thecarroom]

@bttfspencer Thanks! We also do a live show every Saturday night at 7PM Eastern US on The Car Room web site. Just enter "Thecarroom", then the "dot com" and click the "watch it live" ison.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Awesome video! It's fun to watch a fellow car enthusiast talk about his favourite cars.

[@Thecarroom]

@TIX74 You should hear me say "Long Island". Guaranteed to get you rolling in the aisles.

[@photohum]

The early busses are referred to as “Barndoor” not because of the side doors but because of there larger than later years engine lid size. 👍👍

[@Thecarroom]

@Ferrariman601 They're really making great strides to install better features and killer detail - and they're succeeding, for the most part.

[@AhmedStudios1]

dear. . how I can order this VW. .and how much it costs. . also I am looking for Renault R4.

[@Saabguy007]

Ahmed Ali r4 in 1/12?

[@Thecarroom]

@1999lev Hello, Anthony - It's actually really well done - at least on the four or five samples I've had my hands on. You do want to keep the top up, though, as much as possible, just to keep the fabric stretched and flexible. The mechanism works smoothly, and it's surprisingly easy to operate, as long as you don't force anything. Thanks for watching!

[@rowirodriguez928]

nice combi samba bus

[@compound32]

Just recently I bought a Shelby convertible Mustang for ($49) I think or i think ($40), its a 1/18 scale and when i bought it and took out of the box the noticed that because of the car being a die cast the mass of the metal pushed down on the car causing the wheels on the front to push away at an angle (which i did not like). Do these cars do the same?

[@compound32]

@Thecarroom oh, and no, actually I got my shelby from a store, called Hobby something...so it was store boughten if your talking about the kind of like place where they made it, then I dont know, I just bought the car.

[@s.flanders]

Did you say this model is $150? 7:42 A 1/12 for that price is crazy cheap, especially for such a detailed model.

[@elkikevlogs8096]
