Now it's a really nice buggy but it is a swb and we have soon to be three
Year old and she loves cars ( I'm into 60's mini's ) and could bring my self
To hack seat into such a nice buggy !

So the long wheel looked a good choice  ??? But the misses didn't come down
With me to look at it and she don't like it  >:( but I quite like so it came home
With me ! Put a ticket on it the next day after checking the brakes and sorting
Side lights and the next a chap walks in work and wants to buy it and I should
