Big Trak
I really thought I would be able to shape my own destiny with such a sophisticated tool. (Note I said tool and not toy - this was hi tech asimov stuff). I pestered the folks for the best part of a year and they eventually compromised with a birthday/christmas deal.

Christmas morning came and I was constipated (painfully so) with excitement. I spent an hour programming it to move from the room into the kitchen - to prove to my parents that it really was wonder science at work.

It didn't and when I did get eventually get the hang of the stupid distance bollocks I was bored out of my skull.

I'd promised my Dad it would deliver apples and heal and whatnot. I wonder if he was disappointed when the 'fully programmable electronic vehicle' ended up in the cubby hole under the stairs mid January.

I know it was just a toy but I'd spent months of my life believing it would change the universe.

Your disappointment obviously lies
with the lack of trailer unit for your big trak.
