That is quite funny. No, it's not like the real thing, for a wee bit I thought would that be possible at all? It takes a bit of clicking through the add to find a sound sample and I'd say it is funny, an enhanced version of our old fashioned cardboard cards and the exhaust would make it look "the real thing" in little boys' eyes. Just wonder, out here I don't see kids busy with such stuff any more at all...
