Re purposing.... kids get a new ride

[rokon2813]

Every once in a while, a scrapper friend will bring me something odd or different that he finds.A couple days ago he showed up with part of an old carnival ride :OThe price..... A pack of smokes and a hot cup of coffee :DWell, an old hitch from a roller, a piece of shaft that has been laying around for years because it was the same size as front spindles, drill a few holes and add a few bolts and the kids are pleased as punch sm01sm01sm01It seats 8 with seat belts :JAnd it's even almost the right yellow ):o)

id="quote">I've got my scrapper going back to where he got this to see if they have any more of it.After a little research, it's made by Sartori or Rondina, an Italian carnival ride manufacturer. Goes on railroad type tracks. Their website shows new ones, but no prices. :OThere are complete ones, put on wheels, that are rented out for parties etc.One site I looked at rents a complete space train, 3 cars and a rocket engine with driver, capacity 26 kids for a whopping $299 for the first hour and $150 each additional hour. :O

LOL She is almost 4, been here with us since she was about 7 weeks old.She gets to have all the fun now, her brother spends the day at kindergarten, so she is home alone with papa all day.She's even learning to drive "gamma's taxi" while papa rides in the back.She has me thinking on "remote controls" for "driver training" :O New project to watch for :D:D
