warning pic heavy: My son and I like vintage tractors (we like all tractors and anything on wheels or thats vintage .... or slammed) see my Dad used to run a vintage working farm museum, he became terminally ill and had to have a mobility scooter (which he hated) so after he passed. I put the scooter in a barn for a years, then it was it time to put it to use Archie helped with the strip down then we dicked about with it

That's just brilliant on so many levels, re-purposing the scooter, getting your son involved in the build and the end result. Are you going to build one for your daughter so they can race?

Not got round to fitting a tool box yet, but the lights come in handy when directing little red riding hood and the hounds
