You certainly are, £200 is only 2 hours of a builder's time. :)


£1000 a day the last building work I had done worked out at. Wish I earned £1000 a week, never mind a day...

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

I still find £200 a bargain for a sheep. Thats a lot of lamb kebabs right there!!

Whats the best part of a sheep then? A fillet?

Plus the steering wheel is on the wrong side. I have never seen a sheep with the steering wheel on the wrong side so sheep are better value :)

I might well have bought a blue right hand drive one, but I'm old enough now to know that I wont ever get round to painting the wrong colour blue.

Looks like they have made some matchbox sized ones for £20 too.

That Tomy one I have was ok for £6 IIRC, but it is the kei version, without arches.


£80 for the Suzuki one? I bought 2 on ebay for 16 quid each and I've just checked and there are plenty in stock and also available from other sellers. I also bought a BM creations small one for 12 quid from Japan which is brilliant with a spare set of tyres!

Glad to see it not just me who's a big kid! Got them lined up under my telly in the man cave.
