Strange Contraption.....

A bit of a rushed blip tonight...... I came home to find my boy in his socks, pants and vest playing with this toy.... (please excuse the state of the floor!!).

This is a really cool toy that Charlie got for his birthday from his little friend Evie yesterday.....

If you can't make it out, basically what happens is: the 2 Cars race up the track, get caught in the clear boxes, get thrown forward, spin in the air, connect with the opposite track, are released and then race down the track....

Now here is the clever bit (and please don't tell Charlie as he hasn't worked it out yet!!) .... Because of the mechanism, the Car in the left hand lane (right as you are looking at it) will always win!!!

This certainly brightened up what was otherwise a very dull day (apart from the weather which was v nice!!)
