[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 570585, member: 1414"] Lived in Durlacher street that had a steep incline, all the boys had home built hill trolleys with pram wheels. We would career down the hill and finish in a vacant block at the bottom. We crossed the Gt Northern Hwy into Geraldton, how one of us never got squashed is a miracle. I set to work and instead of the usual rope in each hand to steer, mounted a steering wheel (Scrounged from rubbish tip where we got all the pram wheels.) on a broom stick with the steering ropes wrapped around it. (Wrong configuration. :awful: ) The problem being, that wasn't solved for some time. Turn the steering wheel right to go left and vice versa. Lots of rollovers and skin missing when other kids had a run down the hill. [/QUOTE]
