Being in a place where mamods seem rare (Australia), I had never seen one in person. I was real impressed at the engine.

That put a smile on my face, mate. I know how long you've wanted one, and that's a real nice example, boxed, too.

They're right girthy buggers, and one of Mamod's finest

As James has said, one of Mamod's finest.  With the geared down final drive they carry the weight and size with ease and are very good runners.

Mine is very popular with the younger people in the household and is often seen carrying dolls and pokemon rather than sacks of coal or barrels

Cheer guys. It's well worth having one.

I couldn't beleive the size of it.

Minor1PJG, I know how you feel. Mine has already been adopted, carrying My little ponys and Polly Pockets, amongst other things.
