The wheeled super hero … does it have air horns??
Curious stipulation, and double curious given the Great British weather and the time of year they don’t supply them.

November 5, 2010 at 4:17 pm #77200Re: Another Scrounger…..!!…I am expected to look after it reasonably & although the motor & batteries are covered, the control unit isn’t & that’s not waterproof. So, I guess I’m going to have to get onto ebay to see what I can find. They said I’m meant to have like a little power chair profeciency test, make sure I can ‘handle’ it before I use it alone too. Because of the bad weather here we can’t do that today, so. Never mind, least it’s here.
And no air horns. It’s got a horn symbol, I pushed it & it’s a pathetic beep. So, maybe I’ll pimp my ride once I am profecient

November 5, 2010 at 8:59 pm #77205Re: Another Scrounger…..!!…Ok, thanks. I had no idea & tbh it doesn’t look like a sealed unit. It’ black plastic but, I wouldn’t take the risk had you not told me & just accepted the advice from the wheel chair lady. Still, the cushions & back rest outer covers are not waterproof. So, both I & them need something to cover us other than a coat to keep me warm. Especially when they cost so much. It’s a very new & expensive world of wheel chairs I have to get used to.
I hope this isn’t getting to far from the thread topic but, does anybody have that they can recommend or know where I can get like a bag that fits on the arm ? I need somewhere to store a collapsed walking stick & it’s no good mounting it on the rear as I can’t reach it. Hoping this is somewhere to store any waterproof cover I get too
November 17, 2010 at 3:02 pm #77206Re: Another Scrounger…..!!…Woogy – http://www.able2wear.co.uk have a bag which can be fitted to the arm of a wheelchair and they also have a “Hand & Joystick Cover”.
November 20, 2010 at 5:54 am #77207Re: Another Scrounger…..!!…Thanks Amethyst ! I’ve ordered the control cover & some groovy gloves but, I found a bag elsewhere to mount on the arm that has a sleeve specifically for walking sticks. Happy days. I appreciate your link & help, cheers

December 16, 2010 at 11:49 am #77209Re: Another Scrounger…..!!…Oh! dear,
This world is going down fast! And I for one lay the blame fIrmly at Conman Camerons Feet! I think I will Twitter to his wife and tell her what a disgrace to humanity he is! And I voted for him! Never again!
I am 39, an ex glamor puss! No more dancing on the tables for me!My nickname was Barbie! Lol! But now I am, well like a 90yr old hermit ! God damn life!
I have experienced so much stigma, lost freinds, my children have lost freinds, but I say SOD them all!
“As there but for the grace of god goes they!”
that’s what any of us ‘disabled’ should think, and if you’ve the guts say to any of these mean direspectfull able BODS!
I have an electric scooter which I use bedecked in highheels, sometimes but really need an electric wheelchair as it’s becoming too difficult to use.Dont be embaressed or feel ashamed you will feel so much more free and independent. I used to turn heads in mine lol!
Sorry for my rambling and spelling mistakes I’m just so angry at all your plights whilst feeling sorry for myself too.
We should all shake ourselves down and come out fighting!
Maybe we could have a giant social meet up hire a whole hotel, so we don’t feel different! Get drunk have wheelchair races in the corridors, strut our stuff on the dance floor, Flirt! Enjoy casuall sex! And generally behave as disgracefully as the rest of society! Lol! & have FUN!
