No, you dump the recovery, so no need to quit the drunk

I wasn't exaggerating. I have no concept of time...........ask my wife.

Actually, I was on the site, ate dinner, and got back on. I was posting from a highly probable theoretical future which happened to be accurate.

Hypothetical..............not theoretical.

Brilliant! Riding around with no helmet on a motorcycle that can't be seen. I see pain in his future.

I was half expecting to see the awesome gentleman's flying contraption here but alas, no! Must admit, I did like the semi submersible boat!

Re: Strange and Unusual Vehicles

hi chris - that is a great site - thankyou. all those beautiful small cars and other sorts of vehicles makes me ask if many things like that are being made now and at the same time its very tempting to just make a small car powered with todays generator/motor combinations all on the smallish scale to be really easy to drive and park and feed. basic materials like wood and metal and all very repair/maintanable. i just saved myself about two hours of disassembly and reassembly on a 1992 buick regal starter motor replacement with an 18 inch crowbar to gently pry those 4 aluminum coolant and oil lines away a little so i could remove the damned starter - took about `30 minutes that way. anyway sorry to digress and i will go back to studying that website you pointed out.

While I've posted this link elsewhere on CR4, it is another of my favourites.

Roadable Times

for more weird vehicles...
