Look what I got

[darkmessenger84]

An old wheel from the Shockwave coaster at Drayton Manor went under the hammer on eBay, and it was I that won the auction. Check it out.

Nice.

If you don't mind me asking, how much was it?

 

[darkmessenger84]

£60 inc P&P, least I didn't pay into the £100s

 

[Alastair]

How big is it? Any kind of scale?

 

[darkmessenger84]

One foot in diameter, weighs several kilos. Not sure how many kilos because I have no scales to weigh it on, lol.

 

[DiogoJ42]

Shame it's only the rim, not a whole wheel. A complete one would make an epic ashtray.

<---- Not Jealous

I knew they were big but seeing it to scale against that bin still suprised me. How much does it weigh? Very nice buy! ;D

 

[darkmessenger84]

Several kilos, no weighing scales around so I honestly couldn't tell you the exact weight.

 

[Prometheus]

Haha, nice one, a pretty hefty peice of kit then. Jealous!

A complete one would make an epic ashtray.

That is all anything off Shockwave is good for..

 

[Jonathan]

Nice one!

I still think it looks like a giant role of Sellotape, though.

 

[darkmessenger84]

I've had a lot of people say it looks like a giant roll of sellotape.

 

[Sam]

Take it outside, put it horizontal, fill the middle with soil and you've got a lovely plant pot!

 

[Niques]

You've been fooled. It's actually a Giant's wedding ring.

 

[Sam]

I presume you didn't have any kind of verification as to the authenticity of the wheel?

Not that I'm doubting it too much - it's either a coaster wheel or part of the world's biggest skateboard!

 

[darkmessenger84]

As far as I know, the seller verifies that it's authentic. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rollercoaster ... 3cc7108a10

Oooh... 98.9% feedback. There's reason for doubt.

Nice buy! Seeing it against the other things in the image makes you appreciate just how big the parts really are.
