Irish Mail cart questions
I found a cart similar to this one (possible purchase-plus it has a small "truck bed").
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge on these little guys?

Re: Irish Mail cart questions
Remember riding on one when I was a little kid (wasn't mine - must have been a buddy's...) They were a blast to ride - went faster than you would think. Not good for steep hills though - no 'coasting'......

Re: Irish Mail cart questions
Yeah, a downhill would get that handle pumping so fast your arms couldn't keep up, and your hands slipped off of it, and then if you happened to get your face into it, it would beat you senseless.
DAMHIK I think I remember my little brother breaking an ankle when he messed up steering and got his shoe/foot under the axle when it went full-lock and crashed. Other than that, they were fun! Ahh, the good old days, when toys could hurt you, and you learned from it. Last edited by Steevo; 05-03-2012 at 09:21 AM. |
