Page 6 - I remember having a steering wheel lock on my Escort in the 80's (big grey metal bar with bright yellow wrap-around lock), but hadn't realised the Krooklok was around in 1965.

Wow! Got to get me a page 46, item 10-
Motor Roar: Battery Operated realistic engine giving try-to-life variable sound by means of hand throttle control. Can be fitting to most wheel toys.

The perfect xmas present for the G-Wiz & Prius owners who want to pretend that they've got a proper car.

Same. Late 70's / Early 80's, Saturday tea time the kids would be in eating their fish fingers or brdseye beefburgers watching 'chips' on the telly. As soon at it finished we'ed all be out on the estate on our Grifters / Commandos etc playing "Chips" with those sirens blaring.

Don't know, looks like that Aha video twenty years before it happened.

We used to have to make do with a flap of cardboard jammed into the spokes and held on to the rear seat stays by a couple of our mums clothes pegs liberated off the washing line! The faster you rode the more noise they made.

Yes, because everyone less than 8 knows it's not a proper car unless it goes BROOM BROOM.
