What did i just see?

[LHD]

A sort of beach buggy type thing. Yellow body driven by a chap in a crash hat. Just at Holy Corner in Edinburgh as i was stocking up on ice-cream before dinner at my folks tonight.

Is this the Sandrail that Elliot has bought?

[Rockatansky]

My guess is yes (but I don't know), is this it?: (pic from Italian car/bike meet thread)

Saw it on the bypass today - cool machine.

Mental at its best

Met Elliot in it at a petrol station a few weeks ago in Morningside. Now I thought my Tiv was loud but he is one stop off an ASBO.


Very nice.

It's louder than your mobile jackhammer?

Jesus...

And thats with the 'quiet' exhaust i put on for the MOT. ive got a nice chrome system with no baffles which set of my neighbours car alarm when i got it running the first time. Got baffle inserts for it but its still way loud so put the current one on.
Ill stick some better pics up sometime and a wee vid. Pretty pleased with how its turned out, but still got lots to do like wrapping all the wiring loom and making proper fibreglass rear mudguards. Its seriously fun driving it. Same feeling you get when your 8 and youve just put some pram wheels on a bit of wood and go hooning down a hill.
Off out for a wee spin jus now.

Totally out of control and a suspicion of imminent pain, both of which are ignored due to going "wheeeeee!" ?

A paraplegic orangutan would have built a better one than the one that put me into hospital

I fitted mine with a cycle computer, remember topping out at just over 20mph down my parent's street, just prior to the inevitable...

Brakes = shoe soles

Steering = string?



I used the steering from an old Kettler (sp?) pedal cart on mine, awesome.

Sure this just passed me as I was cycling back home in Penicuik with my wee girl.

Driver and passenger were wearing helmets today.

I was the guy on the bike who turned to look at you as you headed thru Penicuik - we should have some kind of universal 'Pistonheads' type signal which we can use when sans car
