    I had the Evil kneival. Broke a handle bar off on Boxing Day, doing a ridiculous stunt off a wall.
    Also wrote off a Scalextric car by cooling the motor under the cold tap.. :(

    My mum and dad wanted to get me an educational computer so when I was about 7 I got one of these. Probably didn't appreciate it at the time but it must have cost a bomb in the late 80s. They followed up withan Acorn Archimedes when I was 12 and a PC when I was 15. Didn't get a Playstation 1 until the year after!
