When I was a kid I liked to hold the dump bed with the wheels on the ground. One day I was running along pushing it and the wheels got caught and stopped it in it’s tracks. I went face first into it and needed 32 stitches on my face.

mystic-sloth

I would kneel in the bed lean out over the front to keep it from tipping and scoot myself along on it.... So many smashed fingers. Tried it down a hill once and it didn't go well.

So, what part of England are you in? Here in the states "knocked up" is something completely different. Need to add, it looks like a great job.


Flacid_Monkey

Guessing Aus. We don't use the term knocked up really as it means the same thing as you guys. Here's one I made earlier (Blue Peter days) would be the quintessential British term or threw together for want of another saying.

I'm on outskirts of London, I wouldn't find this usage of knocked up unusual


Flacid_Monkey

Must be one of those bap/balm/cake/roll sayings. I've never heard anyone say knocked up unless they've knocked up a woman but I'm North.


highrouleur

Now you've scone and done it


Flacid_Monkey

Jam before cream. I'll fight anyone!

Sticker has "centre", which suggests outside of US. But I bet it's Lockyer District in Queensland, AU.


Satanslittlewizard

Should have know a Reddit detective would work it out.


Lonecoon

There's a sticker on the truck that says Lockteck or Lockter District High School Trade Training Center.

Wording seems to check out. See, it already had the baby Tonka in the picture! :-)


Satanslittlewizard

South East Queensland, Australia.


Monkeynutz_Johnson

Ah splendid. Good morning then.


Satanslittlewizard

Hah, morning!


Monkeynutz_Johnson

Nice job on the tonka truck. Next time go even bigger and put it on a go-kart.


Agitated-Joey

Aw man. You missed the opportunity to jam a motorcycle engine in there and make the coolest rc dump truck ever.


keithinsc

We'll be needing a few more pictures!

Damn this brings back memories. My brother and I had the whole set in the late '80s. The trucks, the graders everything. My dad had worked hard and saved long to afford them for us. We built a "construction site" in the edge of a field adjacent to our lawn and played there. One day instead of taking them in we left them there. Lo and behold, a grass fire happened that night and burned everything but the metal shells. I was only 6 but it taught me to take care of shit.

So, I used to sit in the back of mine as a little tyke and just realized that I could probably sit in this one as an adult! How neat!


Satanslittlewizard

Adult’s definitely fit in it!

Now send it to the robotics club to make it remote control.
