I feel your pain GP, well sort of...my wife says I fall in love with everything. I buy it intending to resell it, but never do.
I have sold a few items over the years that I regret though.
Looks like you got a good price for it!

yes nice chap bought it. we had a lot of............

fun........................ i think it was....................


trying to load it into his van as they are very heavy.


we [i mean he] jacked the front wheel end up on

blocks and then reversed the van til the vanfloor

was under the bumper car front wheel, then wedged

wooden floorboard planks from the van floor to the

right and left rear wheels then lifted the rear of the

bumper car pushing it forward at sametime and it

just rolled up the two planks into the van............


i was very sceptical but he was sure it would and it

did....................................................mind you

he was built like a bull................. a very big bull!
