Not sure where to put this but I figured since Falconprincess put's her for sale thing's here then it'll do for this . At least this is mini related ......
Got bored thismorning so pulled the moke pedal car down from the garage ceiling (had to check it since siclad headbutted it the other day , don't let a tall person in a garage that's setup by someone who's 6 foot .....) and tried to get some photo's by myself with almost flat batteries and a model who was more interested watching the dog running around outside .....
Image
And then wanted to fall asleep in the back of the Moke .
Image
The only real problem was that Peter's not quite 6 months old , while he can almost situp unassisted , trying to do it on the polished paintwork of the moke was a little beyond him so it was a matter of "prop up and take the photo quickly" . Still think this one is reminiscent of someone having a nap in the moke waiting for the surf to improve .....
Image
And of course the final one of me holding up Peter and trying to line up the camera from the front , I thought I'd be out of the shot but that didn't work . I do normally smile but I was trying to line things up and balance Peter as well .....

Thank's , Peter's got no chance other than to be a mini nut ....
Actually the Moke is one of 6 prototypes built by BMC in Aust to try and sell beside the real Mokes , the idea flopped but they were a very good idea in my view , very well designed , even has a turning circle almost the same size as a real moke's turning circle , like I said , it was a prototype . BMC also made two metal mini pedal cars with the roof/windscreen's/windows hingeing open to the side for access , I've seen a couple of pictures of them but nobody know's what happened to them .
