Bit different from my pedal car at that age!

All I can remember was that it was blue.
 
Crickey, I hope that big drive isn't in the hills.... you might have to learn about plasters, Dr's, Nurses, Firemen, Insurance Companies, Lawyers, Policeman & Judges all in one afternoon. :):)

I had to settle for a Matchbox S-Class, red with the big block in it - on the back steps of the holiday home in Orewa that we'd rented.

Such was the interest at an early age that the next year I got a Unimog with mirrors and springs that worked! - Nobody had one of those at school or anything close, this is where I discovered sabotage - mechanicing and quiet revenge. Wonderful toys!!

I used a full model, less trailer, as my company hack Saudi Arabia in 1970s. Very comfortable go anywhere. Same colour!!
 
You don't know where I could get a job driving a Zetros 6X6 by any chance - seriously. I fancy a 12 month stint in a Tonka toy in the sand pit....
