I like driving in my car

I've been into cars for as long as I can remember. Anything motorised with wheels does it for me, so it was inevitable that Lily would be exposed to some cool cars from an early age. She had her first ride in a classic car (the camper) on route to her first classic car show when she was just three weeks old. Now every child needs their own set of wheels sooner or later and every little girl loves something pink (well our little girl does!) so this combines the best of both worlds. I was over in France for work earlier in the year and spotted these metal bodied ride on toys in a little shop in Calais and thought one would make a nice Christmas present, roll the calendar forward a few months and the online search was turning up some expensive prices in the UK, a chance hit on Amazon led to a French shop that imported them, when combined with some Nectar points and the sale of my old PSP the car cost me £10, bargain. It was built in the kitchen and stored in the garage until it was wrapped and slid under the tree. Ripped open on the 25th Lily was a little nervous at first but soon started pushing it round the lounge and finally getting the hang of slinging her leg over the seat and riding it. Its a pedal car next and then we can start looking at engines!
