It all started with another one of my daft ideas and anyone who knows me well enough will confirm I do have them Several phone calls confirmed it was a daft idea but then someone shared my madness and put me straight on a few things. so what was the daft idea, a sidecar for one of my bicycles in the shape of a Dan Dare rocket so I can take my grandson Frankie down to Nino's on the sea front for ice cream, simple well it got a little clearer when Dave Cooksey decided to help me turn my daft idea into a possibility from the initial daft idea, we progressed to this sketch one of several done by Dave on a flight to Spain and several lengthy phone calls  and this  then many hours later we got to this stage  then fast forward several months and approximately 250+ hours and we got to this stage   I have just picked it up from Dave this morning if all goes to plan it will make it's first official outing at VWNW |

That is a beauty ! Top marks for a great idea, and managing to get it looking so good when it's built  |

Just amazing, even elicited a wow from my wife who isn't a great RR fan (apparently I waste too much time on it).
I think you need to do a Wallace & Gromit style one next...

Have fun times with it and your grandson. thanks for the kind words the only part of this plan that I have no control over is convincing my grandson it will be a good idea to go for a ride along the sea front for some ice cream it may cost me some Lego, sweets and ice cream  fingers crossed , but it will be worth it if it works out it should make for a cracking picture |

Lego, sweets, ice cream, hell, I'm 6'6", 16 1/2 stone, and 61, I'd succumb to an offer like that and squash my self in the chair! (you might end up off the ground pedalling fresh air though.)

That's just awesome Ernie
Thank you for sharing and the previews.
This has to be one of your best crazy ideas ever.
And massive props to your fabricator.

That is so awesome. Only problem is he will grow out of it so fast that is the only downside to this project but I am going to make the most of it might be time to think about getting a dog, maybe next year |
