Brings back memories. Cool

was cool to see it run. my dad got me this to play with when ii was bout 9 or 10. if you gave a 10 year old one of these and some fire lighers and box of matches today you would be in all kinds or trouble with health and safety the world has gone to soft

Here's the price of mine in the garage!
