Title: My boys build
Post by: wilsey72 on July 26, 2016, 10:58 AM: So, following a very generous donation by Kerryman last year (only condition was it had to be built for MK16) my twin boys (mainly Ollie to be honest) has been building this F&F with bits and bobs he's bought/begged/borrowed/restored.

I'm really happy he has the interest in doing something like this and he's doing a bloody good job.

You will see it at MK so be sure to give him a pat on the back and lots encouragement and hopefully he will build another for next year.

Cheers.

Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on July 26, 2016, 06:10 PM: What a great idea, and it looks like he's doing a good job too. There's a real sense of achievement when you build something up and can not only stand back and admire the result, but actually ride the thing too
