Good plan ~ since I publish the only local free newspaper round here...... trouble is the next issue isn't published until 1st April.

Funny thing is that the lad's mate is the son of the directors of our local coach/bus company ~ he is planning on asking his parents if there is anything laying around their garage.

I can easily get some slightly damaged insurance right off wheels from various bodyshops.
Bit big problee.

That's what I told him about bus wheels.



Power to weight ratio.  noooo:

I was thinking more of fitting them to a plank and then getting the assembled buggy onto the 1 metre wide path down the slope in the local park.

I can't see elfin safety allowing that....  noooo:

I've been thinking of a similar thing actually... We have two mahoosive hills which lead from the village to the beach...

I think it would be great to organise a soap box derby - close the road one a year and have a time trial....  cloud9:
