Serious Business This Driving

One of the many things my friend Mr. Rodger and I have discussed over the years about Ghana has been these driving toys some kids who were lucky enough had probably made by their fathers.

Some were quite interesting in how they were built for instance the length of the pole and I swear some of these reached 10 feet or more. Some were outfitted with a real steering wheel I assume determined by what was at hand. These toys maneuvered quite nicely by the way.

Although this "small boy" is not smiling here the smiles from these kids driving these contraptions around town was fun to see and has stuck with us always.

I found this picture here taken by a retired and now world traveller named Galen R. Frysinger.
His site is here and you will not be disappointed.
