Now i'd say most will find this a little strange..and all of people walk around with their head down but its amazing what what you may find if you look up every once in a While

Not the Best pic as it was on the Phone but these can be found in Buger fuel stores in Newtown and Kingscross and advised also location in NZ.
If you are a paticular with what you can eat, you can now have a Hamburger :wink:

thats a pretty unique find gafmo :?

is it meant to be like a plastic model's 'sprue' (the tree thing that holds it together)

is it all 1:1 scale or is it sized down?

nice find 8)

Caponix its all 1:1 and looks like they have been taken off a Mini :shock: and I'd say a little bog has been used but its it done so you can't see it but with the tranes eye :wink: but its a great peice of art..I'd emagine Kingcross and NZ are very similar
I'll get a pic of the cross but some one else has to get Nz :lol:

Didn't know sprue was actually a word, but alas.....

sprue 1 |sproō|
noun
a channel through which metal or plastic is poured into a mold.
• a piece of metal or plastic that has solidified in a sprue, esp. one joining a number of small molded plastic items.
ORIGIN early 19th cent.: of unknown origin.

Hey, I just learned something.
