Kids will love their new car, but you will have to throw GG, Natty and possibly even MWC off first.

Right, I had a couple of hours spare this afternoon. So my partner has bought one of those pull along trolley's for the boys when we go camping or to festivals (they have mini ear-defenders). To make the trolley a little more interesting for them, I thought I'd cobble together a little addition to it. Its going to be a VW Splitty single cab truck. Its nowhere near finished but had a bit of fun making it up.

They are 5 and 2, the boys will be able to enjoy using this for a good while yet.

That is fantastic, make sure you post a picture when it's finished to we can have a look

Cheers Newgirly.

I will do, might take a few Saturday mornings to finish. We will be away camping this weekend, so it will be too soon to take it with us. Camping? I must be mad in this cold snap!!! Still its a charity weekend, so will be worth going just to help support.

Erm the kids truck is a bit on the big and heavy side! Got it home (just!) and it looked massive! I think now its going to become a garden play den for the boys. I'll make a new trolley top, smaller and thinner materials. At least it didn't cost me anything in materials for this one.

We are off to a VW weekend festival today, checked the weather and yes it says its going to pee it down loads!!! Cheers!!! Still looking forward to it though.

That's awesome Matt... I want one for myself! Who says grown ups can't play?

Good luck with camping... I'm going for the first time this year at the end of March... thank god for eletric hook ups!

Matt_The_Chippy

Thanks Ztan, the boys are very interested in it now!

Ahh, so you do posh camping? Basic for us! At least we won't be in tents any more, couldn't handle that!!!

ztan

Yes, sort of posh. We take a hook up and a heater and a light...

Matt_The_Chippy

Nice, a heater IS posh for camping!!! We have a leisure battery for the lights & 12v socket dvd players the boys use.

A couple of hours til we're away for the weekend!!! And before you ask NP, no its not going to be a naughty weekend away!!! I know what you're thinking!

Have a fun weekend everyone!
