Petal car

When my children were young, I bought them an old pedal car. I painted it and decorated it with blossom, butterflies and other fancifully woodland things. I didn't though, sort ot the issue of the wheel that kept falling off, so the kids barely used it. Here is the 'horn', painted to look like an aminita muscaria toadstool, and the hub-cap, as a ladybird.

Ha!
I've seen better. There's this one that hoops around Invers with a scene painted all over it, populated with parkourians a-leaping!

My parents couldn't afford to give us a pedal car. Nearly broke my mother's heart she confided years later.

That's a bit tough Fred, on all of you I guess. My children's pedal car came out of a farm rubbish dump! I spotted it on a visit when we were looking for a claw-footed bath. I was pretty excited to find it. I found two pack-horse saddles there as well. And other stuff.
