Always wanted a Robinhood as the kit price was very good when I was 16 20 years ago..

Then saw the ron champion book..

Then the roadster book.

And since I had lots of sierra experience the roadster made a lot of sense...

I had the book two years before we sat down one night with the kids, and the BBC had changed their childrens bed time schedule.. After a few days of trying to understand the program "weybalooo" we were all fed up..

I flicked for the first time to channel 38 "Quest" which was showing "A Chopper is born" where commedian Mark Evans built a helicopter. we watched that for a few days. Then it went on to "A racing car is born" where he built a Westfield.

I got out my Roadster book and my 5.5yr old and myself decided to crack on and build...



So my inspiration was a Robin hood, and the driver was a Dreadful American Re-regionalised crap kids TV show about some Monkey like floating freeaks that must be partaking in the smoking of some of Jamaicas finest herbal remedy.
