discussion My new custom wheels

[Guest]

Had a delivery of my new custom wheels today, I`ve finally decided to give in and have a wheel chair, it`s something I think once I got my mind around I knew it was going to have to happen, mind you though, it does come in a gloss black finish, spoked wheels and adjustable feet rests, so for a 50 year old it doesnt look bad


The wife and OT and physio`s kept on at me to give in and give the wheel chair a go,so from now on all of those twats that wouldn`t move out of my way when I was walking with my sticks, had better watch out now, I`m taking no prisoners

Cheers John.

 

[Guest]

Thanks Robert, I was thinking of some go faster stripes, but the wife has got more adventurous designs, she wants a remote control adding to it, so I can nip off down to the shops.....forward thinking

Good for you mate. I use a stick and a scooter: Like you I don't like giving in, but you have to do what you have to do.


Death race anyone?

[Guest]

Definitely like your way of thinking Peter but I'd spend more time hosing the wheels of blood, pulling legs out of the rims


Sod it where can I order myself a set

 

[Guest]

Hi Si your not wrong mate, surprised how many modellers are in a similar predicament/situation.


All we need to do is find a good steep hill and we're all set for that race

Thanks John, think I might have to bling it up a little

Fluffy dice, spinning hub caps, skull handles on the ends of the arm rests, some plastic strips on the wheels so they make a noise when you rotate them through the spokes. No one could say they didn't see or hear you coming

 

[Guest]

It's not all bad. I've been in one of those fancy chairs for over ten years. They sure can give you many years of service and make your life a lot more enjoyable. I fought it it for years just as you have and looking back I wish I had given in sooner as the chair makes getting around more tenable. Good luck and keep at the posted speed.

I don't know about the fluffy dice Joe but the wife has already started to see what you can get for the chair.... including wheel disc`s, horn , but she went a little too far when she suggested those all in one thermal rain proof suits, they make you look as if you're wearing a gimp suit

 

[Guest]

Hi Ray thanks for that buddy, I think the reason I held off on the chair for a while was due to pride, but sense prevailed, and sometimes you have to give in and see that some things are there to help you.

[Guest]

Got my eyes on one of them


I was really surprised at how comfy it is, mind you though, it has got a really deep cushion that came with it

 

[Guest]

I was going to go for a scooter but can't get it on the bus so opted for a powered wheelchair made all the difference

Nice one Ray, but I think if I got myself one of those, my wife would have it remote controlled, she would have me nipping off to the shop's and to the bar when we we`re on our holidays
