i tells you i did make it

but the Biddie scooter did originate on the back of a scrap mans wagon in Essex ! i got given it after my uncle had rigged it up with the batteries and a foot pedal so it went full chat from the off but i was challenged to chuck an engine on it originally looked at the old yamaha townace 80 engine but i was on a budget so it cost nothing so far

and the stove was a prototype and i haven't managed to get it to burn the old paint off yet as the neighbors keep complaining once i stoke it up

Wife killed after losing control of mobility scooter and plunging into river



By Mail On Sunday Reporter
Last updated at 11:50 PM on 06th February 2010

An elderly woman was killed when her mobility scooter crashed into a river.
Police were alerted after the 69-year-old victim’s red scooter was spotted by a passer-by in the River Brain in Witham, Essex, on Friday night.
Officers tried in vain to revive the unconscious woman after dragging her from the water.

A 69-year-old woman was riding her red mobility scooter, similar to this one, when she plunged to her death in the River Brain

It is understood she had been shopping in the town centre and was on her way home using the popular short-cut through the beauty spot.
Police were last night trying to establish how she apparently lost control of the battery-powered invalidity scooter, which has a top speed of 8mph, and plunged off the path into the 6ft-deep river.
The tarmac path, which runs past an historic former mill house, is used by joggers and dog-walkers and is a popular place for families.
The accident happened in the dark, but police say the path is partly lit by streetlights from a nearby road.
Relatives were last night comforting the husband of the dead woman, who has not been named.

When I get the money and time I shall be having some fun with some of these projects, I love motors and I've got plenty of spare ones lying about. I'd be tempted to do something with my spare SV650 engine, that'd be good in a go kart or cooler race kart ha ha!
