hi if you do proceed you will find they give a good service, i ordered sunday on line, phone call on monday asking will i be at home tuesday, duly arrived a.m. boxed direct from makers.you don't mention if you can transport easly.items can sent to destination of you choice. a courier service such as DHL can deliver back home for less than £25. did you notice the pride jazz select power chair, enjoy you holiday either way.

I looked through Google Images earlier but didn't think some of those would help. One had a jet engine and moon buggy tyres, others looked like entries in Scrapheap Challenge !

We have a pretty good disability aids shop locally. They seem to have everything, loads of different wheelchairs and scooters, or contacts to companies if they don't
