    On TV news today, Raleigh Chopper kids bike reintroduced. Looks pretty authentic, but it's pricey at nearly a grand.

    https://www.bikeradar.com/news/2023-raleigh-chopper/

    Original ones have been sought after items for years (for some strange reason )

    I don't think collectors will be too pleased, this will probably effect values.

    I'm wondering which Tesla model you are referring to. The newer ones don't - I think - have a brake control anywhere near passenger's knees, unless they climb up above the steering wheel. Ha! What an image!

    I have a Model Y Dual Motor Long Range, but I was referring to the handbrake arm on the Carice TC2!

    I like that. Although there had to be some concessions made for health & safety reasons, they don't appear to be obvious. Nice to see the ball-busting gear change is there, good on them.

    But £950 is a lot to pay for something I may use for a couple of weeks until the novelty wears off. I can see a lot of parents who remember the originals getting them for their kids.

    And bollocks to the "collectors".
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    No need to grow old gracefully, try a brisk mobility scooter!
