Cheers Chris

We did 2 hours of driving today (approx 4.5 miles), with no drop off in performance. The 3 year old was driving and the 1.5 yr old 'navigating'.

It does get quite a lot of attention, and loads of people say; 'Ooo, you should make them and sell them'. When asked if they'd buy one, they always say 'No'!

Yeah that and I bet if you actually priced the time factor into the build it makes it as expensive as a small family car :lol: :lol:

Now with Windscreen...

Image

Can't believe it, today we went out for a drive, parked outside a shop, and some old chap walked past, had a look at the car, then wobbled the windscreen, bending all the brass brackets! What posseses people to carry out such stupid acts? Why did he feel the need to touch it?

I made all the windscreen supports from thin brass so in the event of an impact it would bend out of the way, not for stupid old men to ruin it!

grrr

Should have had him for criminal damage, that'll teach him to keep his paws to himself. :twisted:
