What was the occasion?

[Miss Corrado]

Was it like a procession through a town centre with different floats?

It looks absolutely awesome. Well done on a fabulous project.

the occasion is an annual carnival in Shaftesbury, and this was the childrens display in the afternoon, followed by an illuminated procession in the evening. We didn't do the evening, technical prob with the wheels coming loose and little one v tired ( he's nearly 4) and did a fair bit of the steering himself, I was by the roll cage just incase!

It was purely built for the one procession, even though we have been invited to Gillingham Dorset but logistics, speed humps and transport are major problems.

It is over 5.5m long, with full functioning steering and a CB block (cardboard boxes). The wife and i have joked about doing a funny car for next year...

It is certainly a fantastic effort, looks really good.

What is it made from (apart from cardboard :-) ) ?

That is the *best* *thing* *evvah*. I'm allowed to use silly spellings because it's just so awesome. My dad dug me a car out of the sand on Sandbanks beach when I was little. But not a cardboard dragster.
