I put it back together more or less on the table which really didn't seem to impress my partner....

Mrs FB wasn't impressed when I assembled my brake callipers on the coffee table...or when I assembled the master cylinder on the kitchen top...or with me just being in the house in general come to think of it...! :roll: :(

Great looking pedal car though. I'm had a blue one decked out like a police car when I was a kid in the early 70's. I think it even had a blue light on the bonnet. 8-)

Looked like this.

Panda Patrol? That puts me in mind of a song about pandas. Best I don't post the link but think of alternative titles that some Police Officers attract and there's a definite connection.

PMing you that link mate. I would put it up to here but someone may take it personally. Once you have the link of course, then it's up to you where you put it next. :thumbs:

Dorset Steam Fair regulars will no doubt be familiar with the thing already. ;)

Had my dad pop over this evening to start putting the decals on, both plates have now been put on and some Triang ones. The side ones will be going on this weekend as they'll take the longest. Already messed up two decals due to the fact that they're not water proof!
