019: Meccano Buggy


What is it? A buggy made from Meccano.

Pros: British engineering at finest. Proof that Meccano can be made easily enough. British racing green to reflect domestic production and driving prowess. Long-lasting vulcanised rubber wheels make for long-distance travel. Structurally sound. Carbon-neutral driving.

Cons: Missing a fourth washer for back strut; left out of packaging. Wheels don't turn. No pedals. Too big for Lego driver, too small for Playmobil/Lego Technic driver. No engine. Woefully out-of-proportion steering wheel.

Worthiness of pointing motion: 8/10. Reminding kids that older toys can still be kinda cool. Kinda.
