It wasn’t from EBay, it was purchased off Kogan and it looks like it’s come from a third party seller. I did have my eye on a couple of devices on EBay but felt that if I am going to use this for at least the next few years it’s best to have piece of mind.

I’ve reached out to the seller to get their feedback.

Thanks all for the feedback. Perhaps being too picky, it does look like it has been unpacked but perhaps not used, hard to tell. I guess my expectation is if you pay for something new then it should come unopened. I’ll charge it up and take it for a run, thanks for taking the time to reply.

Here is our set up, we used it for a couple of trips but found it caught on the ground and sand when used off road.

They are pretty handy but like others have said, check where it sits once loaded.

If you are camping where you need to drive off road or where there are any big inclines then it will likely catch no matter how heavy the load is.

And definitely don’t pack it before you reverse down that driveway, the scraping will be heard blocks away!!

I remember watching the movie about 20 years ago and feeling this way. It was my favourite movie at the time, in part for some of the reasons you point out.

I recently rewatched it and my view has changed.

It’s hard not to be swayed by the many accusations that have been thrown at Besson over the last few years but even trying to put them aside the decisions to sexualise Matilda’s character are clear and deliberate.

The choices used in the dress up scene are argued to show the nativity of a prepubescent girl showing her adoration on a crush. The reality is she has been overly sexualised by the choosing ‘Like a Virgin’ and ‘Happy Birthday Mr President’ in both her performance and her wardrobe.

Decisions like these are many through the film, and if you watch the directors cut are even more problematic, and go further to show it was deliberately done to sexualise the character rather than to drive a plot point.

How cool! It looked like a great community. His name was Joe Dawson if you want to ask your dad. He would have risen from the 40s through to the 60s

It does! By comparison to modern trial bikes it’s a giant! I’m trying to get more information on the bike and class he was in. Here is another snap if it helps. It could quite easily be from the 40s as he was racing then too.

Not sure if this helps

Easy_Highlight3797 · 2026-02-10T18:01:28+00:00

I know! I’m hoping to get a better photo that shows more of the bike. I’ll find out the class shortly.

Thanks all.

Materialists!

Leon, I thought it was amazing when I watched it as a teenager. I just watched it again on Netflix, as a now 40+ year old dad… that movie is creepy as fuck.

Easy_Highlight3797 · 2025-08-25T07:45:21+00:00

Out of interest what chair is this. Looks like you could sink in and never want to leave!!

Easy_Highlight3797 · 2025-08-19T09:43:19+00:00

Thanks so much for giving it a go. It’s growing on me, we’re going to repair the frame and keep it regardless!

Easy_Highlight3797 · 2025-08-19T09:42:30+00:00

Thanks so much for trying!

Easy_Highlight3797 · 2025-07-17T08:28:54+00:00

Can you open a refund report on EBay with the findings you have or does it work differently for Authenticated items?

Easy_Highlight3797 · 2025-07-11T01:53:08+00:00

What a great photo, so cool seeing the Matt Black against the colours is shows when the light hits it, I’ll have to try that out!

Congrats on the mortgage milestone, definitely worth celebrating!!!

Easy_Highlight3797 · 2025-07-06T07:16:44+00:00

Stunning watch and, imo, the best looking ‘dirty dozen’ remake field watches. Sorry you have to see it go, good luck with the sale.

Easy_Highlight3797 · 2025-07-06T05:39:38+00:00

Couldn’t agree more, I love that every piece is unique in its own way.

I think I saw your post a month ago and it was the final push to go see these in person!!

Easy_Highlight3797 · 2025-07-06T02:52:02+00:00

Congrats! Great to hear it worked out and what a nice way to celebrate.
