Ok, I am being a bit previous here, as my Wife is not due with our first child for another couple of months....but idly looking down the line for a few years there are some really swish pedal & toy cars available !

What are the Junior Piston Heads driving these days...

I like the look of the XK8 & 2cv pedal version, and the obvious J40 cost more to buy than a decent useable hatchback !

Just curious

When I was a kid in the early eighties THE pedal car to be seen in was the Hamleys and Harrods sourced Sharna Triang Rolls Royce Corniche - God I yearned for one these little babies as a 5 year old! - I think they may have done a Merc SL too but can remember!

I saw some at Goodwood FOS last year, great looking things but I cant remember the manufacturer.
Hopefully someone will.

I see that things have moved on since the 70's....I was born in '65. I remember my first car along the lines of this, but in white with a blue light on the bonnet !....and oddly I remember the first time I sat in in and pedalled along a 70's swirly green carpet in it. I don't remember wheels as 'street' as that though.

I used to blat around in a Vanwall Grand Prix car as a nipper, made by Triang. Dad still has it in his garage, really should make the effort to restore it. Had working suspension front and rear IIRC.

$38500 for the caravan and $30000 for a range rover to pull it

I'm not kidding! - http://www.countrymoosekids.com/Carsforchildren.ht...

The ferrari testarossa that costs more than a real one is the serious joke:



Not sure if the website is genuine to be fair???
