hey musky , billy cart -trolley - buggy whatever? I had the best in our gang. it had one of dads morris 1000 steering wheels with the column held by dexian and a universal joint controlling the steering . all well and good until hitting something large with one front wheel and the steering wheel would whip round
the back axle was 1/1/4 inch square bar off of a railway porters trolley with thick wide solid rubber tyres and heavy steel hubs running on needle rollers, plenty of danger down hill but much fun too. before the back axle was used for the making of this contraption we had the full porters trolley to play on
. it weighed a ton and had tongue and groove boards covered in steel sheet with a big T bar to steer it and what looked like 1 inch thick armour plate on the front
and we got in trouble when it demolished a slightly rotten at least 6inch by 6 gate post, at the same time nearly taking out me and my mates stomachs on the T bar
. another famous porters trolley tale is when the neighbours had a good scream at my dad for letting us loose on it near their very super posh newly built stone wall because looking back it could have done it serious damage. the only way of trying to stop both these weapons was by feet on the ground
that's all folks , its a long long time ago
