Yup, Goblin show is the TV equivalent of silicone in fake breasts. Not even good enough to appear to be fake......

Picked one of these up for....FREE on FB Marketplace. The person "selling" it was trying to get $125 for it, but thought maybe the hydrostatic was bad on it. I said I'd take it away for free. They agreed. Ended up having frozen brake shoes...which control the hydro, instead of the axle. I replaced them, and it works great. Like a Snapper...but way overbuilt.

It's in you-rope (England).
Needs to go through MOT, doubt zip-ties would get a pass.
