It's getting to that time again in work. - JohnL - 22:nd-Oct-2014
Fancy dress for Halloween. Just to give you a back ground a few of us get a little carried away and do group costumes. In the past we've done Pac Man and the Ghosts. We've done Minions this year we're doing Mario Kart characters.
So nearly a couple of weeks ago I won the following on Ebay for £10 which was less than 5 miles away.

After a bit of messing with a screw driver and spanner I adjusted the seat as far back as it would go and took it for a test drive.

Scary how hard it was to peddle in bare foot. So in work and I cut out 4 yellow circles and fitted them over the wheel centres.

As you can see I've done a bit more than just the wheels I've fitted exhausts made out of cardboard, coke bottles and foam insulation.

Pedals got removed as we wasn't able to pedal them that easily. Once we got on the car park Mario was off and there was no catching him though :(
