mmmmm, my wife has just said the same. However a quick tot up of parts = £1000. A bit extreme for a kids toy.

£1000?! It'd be cheaper to build one of these - I believe this site has some useful info

There must be a way to build the grasshopper locost style - all you'd really need to buy would be the grp, everything else could be salvaged/made/shopped about for.

I know someone that may have one for sale if he still has it., if your interested ring Phil on 420466

What about an electric kart, rather than a car?
Depending on the gear, you could maybe drop a small petrol engine in when he's a bit older...?

Assume the dialling code will be for cambridge?

rusty nuts - 1/5/09 at 07:11 PM

Sorry , yes the code is for Cambridge. 01223 , he had a Real life toys Jeep that his son had as a kid. If your interested Andy he lives in Balsham but the Jeep was in Milton.
