G'day All, Mate that looks fantastic, reminds me of when I was very young and we used to see on the back pages of American comics the WW2 tanks (toys that you could ride in) that were available in the USA I think from memory around $40.00US at the time, gee we used to waste a lot of time looking at those tanks and saying that we wished we lived in America, can't wait to see some pix of it finished and the look on the childs face on the 25th, London to a brick he will have a S.E.G cheers Dennis

Magnificent! How heavy will it be? Should help the little fellah develop good leg muscles!

Keith, it will be quite heavy but he should be able to hand it down to his grandson. It does pedal very easy though!

Thanks lynn, no siren required. I'll here him coming a mile away.
I think it looks pretty cool and I would have loved it as a kid.
Regards
Colin.
