fantastic!!
really nice..what's the size of it?
hello and thanks for checking out my post!
the car is 2 meters long, 1 meter wide and 1 meter high..
the seat is adjustable so it can fit a small kid or a -not very big- adult
it is quite a strong build but not very heavy,
has a handbrake and chain drive.
These were also used in New Zealand for teaching children road safety. Can send you photo's.
Wow I LOVE IT?
