Whilst browsing a posh interiors shop in London the other day I noticed these simple vehicles made from offcuts of box section and a couple of bearings, the kind of thing my dad made me as a kid. Those prices are pounds, not pence!

They look quite cool, until little Johnnie throws one at the cat.
I imagine the reality is they sit on a shelf in some 'cool' pad.

What an imagination, to think of making them out of the scrap box. But a lethal weapon in the hands of a determind toddler!

Screw the cutesy factor. Have you seen those prices? Is that paint or gold plate?

Looks like a good little earner for someone. Quite a mark up from scrap bin to showroom shelf!!

Only if they can actually sell them

I wonder if that would work full size?

If you can find any 2m x 1m box section offcuts
