Bit of a hero of mine ! Does anyone remember the red wind up unit that fired a wheeling toy evil and bike across the living room floor ? Best toy of my childhood ! Think that was part of what got me into the stupid sport of motox . Too old now to recover from recreating the stunts . My bike still in the garage though. RIP to the nutter !
