Before computer games we made our own racing machines :hammer: A few pieces of wood a set of pram wheels a hand full of staples and a big bolt. Plus I remember burning the hole in the wood with a red hot poker so the bolt would drop threw it:devil2: This photo brought it all back and look at the fear in the faces of the drivers lol no brakes and steer with your feet if you had a rope you were lucky. Cuts and bruises made you a hero. Those were the days:yes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aye Gary been there done that, happy days indeed

Yep, and I still have a significant scar because of it.

I don't really remember this, but I do remember using using nothing but a polythene bag (instead of a sledge) when it snowed... scary and bruising stuff, but sooooo much fun!! :lol:

They look like BMWs with no options selected to me.

Mine was made from a bit of scaffold planking, 4 pram wheels, a piece of rope and a ride on lawn-mower seat. We lived on the side of the south downs, so it was terrifying down the chalk path ways. Ive still got the scars...
