the wheels look to have been blue but i dont remember alley cats in that colour? just yellow/green and black.maybe they were swapped out at some time

the nose bone seems to be doing well, ive got one in my cupboard ill have to dig out and flog

i think the wheels have seen better days

i never realised they made this many sizes

yes you dont see the wide versions very often, ive got a pr of the smaller ones but never owned the others

and a partridge in a pear tree!

no because if someone bids during that last minute then it adds another minute on,and so on and so on until eventually nobody bids and it ends,it could in theory go on forever

i think it will put folk off bidding,you will know if you place your last second bid that someone else will then have another minute to outbid you (which is guaranteed to happen) so whats the point of placing your bid? that was part of the fun,getting your winning bid in with 2 seconds to go

the extended auctions have started in australia by the looks of things,i dont think the nose bone will create a last minute frenzy but its on its way

thought id better check and it looks as though the greens changed duro with each version, 1st gen were 91,then 2nd gen 86 then the c series ones that came in cans ended up at 96,i always assumed they stayed the same like the reds did but obviously not

green krps were 95 i think so nothing especially different,i love the warning, no cornering ability!

thats a shame,some wheels can go hard and disintegrate,i think it all depends on how they have been stored,if they have been stored in someones roofspace for x amount of yrs and got boiling hot each summer then frozen each winter the urethane doesnt like it,i posted a pic once of some nos oj's i had ...

it certainly loks a lot nicer minus the grip,the power pivots had its moneys worth i wonder how many of those were sold over the yrs,virtually everyone i knew had one back then
