Cool! I like Roger's reply. I can see myself now riding into Tugy's Bar on that thing! In Covington we have a 75 yr. old bar in the St. Tammany Parrish Courthouse. No joke. The courthouse bought the building the bar was in and allowed it to continue operating as long as they don't change the name.

Oh well, long as everybodys happy (most everybody).

Roger, as long as the judges are in the bar we don't worry about a thing. One of the rules is not to play the jukebox while court is in session. The only problems they have co-existing is the parking lot. We run courthouse folks out of our spots and the D.A. has us towed off if we use his. It is a real kick. The ONLY bar I will go to.

Hey Pat, is that for real? Where are the gas and brake controls? The driver must have one seriously long set of legs to sit and reach the pedals. Vic G

Vic - I got that in an e-mail as a joke...I don't know if it's for real or not...

They are "for real" daring dr__ks/and kids race these things.
They would be difficult to speed around a corner I imagine !!

Yea, they are definately for real, one of my WOO customers brought a couple by the shop years ago. They go waaaaayyyyyy to fast for the center of gravity. They are basically a shortened racing go cart with a stool for a seat. Racers being the crazed fools thay are put some serious racing cart engines on them. I don't doubt for a minute the one pictured actually has a turbo.

This is a fun post in any event.
If you download the pic and open it with a program that will zoom, this picture looks to be a well done Photoshop job. The stool stands off the picture the way cut and pastes used to look in the movies. There is no evidence of two more legs, and the legs are in front of the engine, and the brace is behind.
Humans will build anything, so I don't doubt that people have actually built these things. This just is not one of them. Vic G
