Love it Paul
Had a pedal car when I was young probably spent hours driving it
Most cars etc of that size now are battery powered.

Re: Capri Pedal Car
Cool. Had a second hand pedal car as a kid, my step dad put some lights on it. I drove it so much I wore the wheels away.
I'm the one who leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.

Re: Capri Pedal Car
Getting back to pedal cars I had one long before Capris had been invented. It was a Jeep and I attach a picture of it when it had been "nicked" by my younger sister. I sure wouldn't fit in it now!! The elderly lady is my nana.

Re: Capri Pedal Car
Sadly not a Capri but I did find a couple of shots of my pedal car, a long time ago now. My sister is keeping me company.
I used to jack the car up to 'repair' it, probably says a lot for expectations of cars at the time or may be it was just the cars that we had
