he recreated his infamous accident,
driving the BMW into the studio wall
at a slightly slower speed than his
original accident.

It's
usually only bubble-headed
heiresses that get sports cars
for presents, but that's set to
change with a new range of
super-trendy pedal and electric
cars from Totcars.co.uk
Yup, that's right, little Jonny
can now hit the strip in an only
slightly deformed
Alfa 8C (£249.00)
or
Ferrari Enzo (£369 - both
produced under licence) powered
by a 12v battery that can hit a
heady 4.4mph - and that's
absolutely fast enough thank
you.
You even get alloy wheels and
your own custom numberplates on
the range of supercars, but if
the production car schtick
doesn't float your four-year-old's
boat then how about the 'Black
Comet Hot Rod' (£169), or the
'Chrome retro racer' at a heady
£395?
The range includes everything
from heavy plant equipment to
Grand Prix
pedal and electric cars - so there
should be something that piques
the interest of the toddler in
your life. Just hope they don't
grow up expecting the real thing
when they're 18...

Bring the Toys! UK's Totcars announces Christmas
ride-on lineup
Here in the States, the kids lust
after Power Wheels. On a recent
shopping trip to buy my daughter
her first real bike, she pointed
at a red Power Wheels Mustang, and
asked, "Can we get that?"
One pink bicycle with handlebar
basket later, the pint-sized 'Stang
is but a distant memory (thank
goodness). Still, the attraction
is understandable -- those ride-ons
are pretty cool.
In the UK, a company called Totcars
appears to be the heavy hitter in
this segment, and it's released
its lineup of
electric and
pedal
cars for Christmas 2007. From the
looks of things, British moms (or
is it "mums") and dads
are just as likely to be besieged
with pleas from their kids as we
are. Since Totcars is on the other
side of the pond, there are some
models represented that we'd never
see here. That
Alfa 8C is pretty
cool, as are the
Ferrari F1
children's cars
and
Renault Megane Trophy. Oh, and
dig that Caterpillar dump truck --
it has twin
12V motors
Totcars on Fastcar.co.uk
With a choice of an
Enzo, F430 or
a
F1 car you know these are gonna be
on every mini petrol heads birthday
list. Other cars in the range
include a
Porsche Cayenne,
Audi TT,
Mercedes new SLK and even a
Renault Megane Trophy.

Totcars launches its
largest Christmas line-up
31 July 2007
From
Alfa Romeo to
Audi,
Mini to
Mercedes and a
line-up that includes dumper
trucks, tractors and fire
engines, Totcars presents
its largest collection of
children’s electric and
pedal cars in readiness for
Christmas.
‘Getting behind the
wheel’ is every
youngster’s dream and with
such a wide range to choose
from they can drive a car
just like Mum and Dad,
pretend to be the next Kimi
Raikkonen or Felipe Massa in
a Formula 1 Ferrari, or even
start building their own
tracks and circuits with a
digger or dumper truck.
With over 500 products to
choose from on the Totcars
website – www.totcars.com
– there’s an electric or
pedal car for virtually
every child over the age of
three including the ever
popular Ferrari Enzo and new
for this year, the
Caterpillar dump truck and
Pontiac Solstice.
Ferrari Enzo – 12 volt
electric sports car
Your child can be like Jay
Kay from Jamiroquai and live
the rock star dream with
this superb and very rare
Italian supercar. Licensed
by Ferrari and designed in
conjunction with its
engineers, this Enzo comes
in iconic Ferrari red, and
is finished with alloy-look
wheels and a sports steering
wheel.
The celebrity look is
completed with a
personalised number plate of
your choice, and with a
two-speed gearbox and scaled
down top speed of 5mph
(8km/h), is sure to impress
neighbours and classmates
alike.
Caterpillar dump truck –
powered by two 12 volt
motors
For the aspiring civil
engineer or child who wants
to construct a better world,
this six wheeled, two seat
Caterpillar (CAT) dump truck
will provide hours of
imaginative and creative
play.
Complete with a flashing
beacon and realistic CAT
sound effects, this truck
can help re-shape your
garden – quite literally!
With forward and reverse
gears and a top speed of
over 4mph, this bright
yellow monster tipper will
be a highly popular
‘find’ under the
Christmas tree.
Pontiac Solstice
Kids can imagine they’re
Hollywood film stars
cruising Santa Monica
Boulevard, heading up Route
66 or driving off into the
sunset with this two seater
all-American dream machine.
What might be a bit of a gas
guzzler in real life, takes
its power from a single 12
volt battery, but feeds it
smoothly to two electric
motors that propel this
slick open-top sports model
to a blistering 5mph.
With the real AM radio tuned
into the local rock station,
big chunky tyres, cool
graphics and a choice of
blue, pink or green exterior
finishes, this Pontiac will
certainly cut a dash down
your drive and across the
lawn!

Totcars racing for Sport Relief
Great fun was had as the cool
people at BBC London organised a celebrity relay at Regents Park
featuring some very weird forms of transport in aid of Sport Relief.
Totcars was there providing the transport for the final leg of the relay -
Vanessa Feltz took charge of a snarling Totcars
Ferrari Enzo 12V
in a no
holds barred race to the line against Amy Lame driving
a track-burning Totcars Jeep Cherokee. With engines roaring, tyres
squealing and the potential for disaster huge they tore off live on BBC
news. No one is quite sure who won but now parents everywhere will know
they too can tear around the garden on their favourite Totcar when the kids
are asleep.
Totcars
on Top Gear We
got the very tall frame of
Jeremy Clarkson into a Totcars Jeep Cherokee
and squeezed his sidekick Richard Hammond into a
pedal Porsche 911 for a
segment of the latest Top Gear season. Paul McKenna
hypnotised Richard
into believing he was in a real
Porsche and Jeremy bashed him in his
12V
Cherokee - great fun on the set and the Jeep moved 6ft 4 Clarkson
with ease.
Sunday
Times Car child car testing
The

Four Totcars were among the cars rigorously tested at the Police driver
training ground in Maidstone as kids from 3 to 14 put the cars through
their paces. Read all about their findings in the 30 November motoring
section.
The highlight was the Jeep Cherokee fully laden with a 13 year old girl
and her 5 year old passenger outpacing all competition.
