The elite is lovely, and as mine is an imported one, it can take any covers.

BexieID · 03/02/2009 15:56

I'm ok. Sorry, been playing with Tom on the bed and then my mum phoned. I'm in Dumbarton, so not actual Glasgow Glasgow, about 16 miles west of it. I'm not sure what side of the road it was on. It's not our building, and thankfully we are not directly attached to other flats. Will be nosey when i'm off to work in an hour or so.

nicolamumof3 · 03/02/2009 15:59

oh glad you're building not affected then bexie.

SGK are you trying to tempt me even further?? what is the main different with an elite then? just nicer fabrics??

elmoandella · 03/02/2009 15:59

oh i'm fine then. just going cambuslang then into centre.

SparklyGothKat · 03/02/2009 16:01

the elite has surpension (sp) in the wheels. when i got it had the navy covers, but they had marks on them, so ordered the designer baroque ones

nicolamumof3 · 03/02/2009 16:03

oh nice are you selling it with just the baroque? i can't get into pic trails as im at work...

BexieID · 03/02/2009 16:03

Even from the picture I just found here I still can't work out where, lol. DP didn't hear a thing last night, so am thinking it's the other end of the street.

If it was our building i'm sure the Co-Op would love for us all to move out. Theres alot of work that needs doing and they don't seem to be doing much about it.

nicolamumof3 · 03/02/2009 16:04

any 'developments' with mr.B.M elmo??

SparklyGothKat · 03/02/2009 16:06

yes the navy covers have had it. I tried to redye them using shoe dye, and then Ds2 knocked the bottle of dye over so I haven't finished doing it. I will try again soon lol

nicolamumof3 · 03/02/2009 16:10

i like the baroque was looking at a bn urban (i think) on ebay for £299 before xmas.

Hi all,
Hope you don't mind me crashing in. I'm just looking for a bit of your wisdom. I have had my fair share of pushchairs, big Maclaren fan! (I'm very jealous of those new XT owners.)
DD is 3.5 so rarely uses a pushchair, but she is asthmatic and so sometimes needs must.
I had an XT and a Quest Mod which I thought was excessive for the rare time I use them. I decided to be good and to sell them and get a Volo in Pink and Black. I was really good, kept looking at them on the Boots site but waited till I had the Money and now I have the money they've gone!!
So has anyone seen them anywhere at a reasonable price?
If I can't find one I was toying with an air tyre pushchair but it would have to be small folding though as I have a VW Beetle.
Any Ideas??
Thanks

SparklyGothKat · 03/02/2009 16:14

yes they were a good price, but not an Elite lol

lillypie · 03/02/2009 16:22

here with free delivery but not pink and black

TOYSRUS have the pink and black for 64.99

nicolamumof3 · 03/02/2009 16:26

oh no flame, its because they have brought out new 09 ones i dont think they are doing the pink/black anymore check ebay tho? i know carrielou has one but not sure if she wants to sell think she loves it. what a pita.

sparkly yep i know it wasn't an elite so was just wondering on the difference

flame17 · 03/02/2009 16:28

Thanks lillypie it has to be the black and pink!
I was hoping to find it cheaper as it's last years colours and Boots had them at £50. Maybe I'm being unrealistic.

elmoandella · 03/02/2009 16:28

msn-ing just now. he's just in from work. he's off to his rugby training.he plays for a regional team!! i've got a night out with the girls just waiting on my mum coming

flame17 · 03/02/2009 16:32

It was Carrielou that finally swayed me into getting one. I have looked on Ebay. I can't believe the one time I resist they disappear. They were on the site Friday with loads of other colours, come Saturday morning when i goto order they only have blue!

BexieID · 03/02/2009 16:33

Just too skint!

I actually saw an emerald Toro at work on saturday. Don't really fancy the colour. It looked like it wanted to tip back like the Fastfold. The basket looked better, although it seemed there was a big open gap at the front, kinda like a scoop.

1legmummy · 03/02/2009 17:27

Hi ladies, got no luck with selling my Quest on here so put it on Ebay and its just been collected she was happy and I got money back plus kept Boots points!

Think I might be able to keep Ora, my ds has had bright idea of using a bungy to keep the seat up then take off to recline

horsemadgal · 03/02/2009 17:30

Bexie, mail me your address will you. I'll post those boosters tomorrow.

1legmummy, hope that works for you with the Ora, they are nice.

horsemadgal · 03/02/2009 17:31

I mean liners Bexie

nicolamumof3 · 03/02/2009 17:37
