I'd be possibly tempted by this as a chassis doner if I could be certain that the chassis was the newer type which has better slow-running properties.

But I can't so I'm not. I think that is the case with the later (latest) of the Smokey Joe descendants, the type with the flailing connecting rods. They have a cast metal chassis at least. These type with the plastic chassis and moulded on tension lock couplings are El Grande El Cheapo and I don't know if they're any good at all. Besides, for £25 you can buy one that doesn't look like it had angry sex with a sandwich toaster.... 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find that is more often joggers / speed walkers / hiker's. Instead of obeying the old commonsense of walking on the other side towards the oncoming traffic (So that you see them and don't have to rely on them seeing you, thereby increasing your chances of not being run over ) seems to have gone out of the window to be replaced with put your back to the traffic, hood up, shades on, ear phones on and rely on the entitled attitude that no matter what happens, it's always the car driver's fault. I have news for them. The only thing keeping them alive is the fact that you can't buy bonnet tops for Triumph Heralds anymore.
