What are you thinking of there mate? Building these things? There seem to be lots of wooden rocker toys of various styles but hovercraft are noticeable by their absence, so that's where the gap in that market would be! Make rocking wooden hovercraft, flog them and become a millionaire.
Or - and here's a cracking idea even if the voices in my attic do say so themselves - make things like this out of brick and concrete. I couldn't find any existing kiddies' rocking toys made from these traditional materials so you could be the first. In fact, if you could also make Spacehoppers from building materials, you'd be able to retire on the proceeds within the year. Possibly.

i rebuilt a 30s rocking horse for no2.. thought a rocking car was a nice change from horses...concrete space hoppers? i can't really see those taking off

wifey has already said no

Just as well, it is more use as coke cans and refrigerators than a 4x4.

better than land rovers finest then?

Very useful bit of kit, those.


But only if you have a boat and need an anchor for it......

Amazingly, they are slower, more rust prone and less reliable (I know on all points it is hard to believe).

If you want a 4x4 that isn't a land rover then buy a shogun or a land cruiser. the shogun is more comfy than the land cruiser on road, the land cruiser is better off road than the shogun. Personally, I would buy a range rover or a discovery but I may be biased
