    Whatcha gonna do...?

    Hmm I have an idea or two but I thought I have another attempt at getting a thread thrown into PD (dunno why the last one was...)

    Anyhoo.... I can get my hands on a Starlet engine (yes dear that's the one...) only 1200cc and probably not that strong but the issue is what to do with it...? As I said I have a few idea's - Trike, Off-roader, Mega Rat bike....
    options options options
    I can get some steel and have access to a workshop (with bender and welder etc) so just sorta finking about what other fings you peeps might be thinking of....

    this may seem silly... but, what about some sort of go-kart thing-a-mabob??

    Some sort of off-roader thing that can do jumps.

    put it in a truck.

    go kart that only runs on space saver tyres, to do the meanest burn outs.

    or a really powerful bench saw.
    maybe a garbage desposal unit.

    One of these?

    Actually, you might not fit in one of these, so maybe a convertible would be more practical.

    Have previously entered the "Red Bull Flugtag" (Flugtag = flight day) and won it. It was the last one the had 3 years ago. Those craft are un-motorised...

    Entered the "Red Bull Trolley GP" in the domain too - didn't win that one...

    Given that previous criteria I was wondering about hovercraft (something I've mentioned here before) maybe a flip car would be the go...? A car you can totally flip upside down and drive that way...?

    Would require something special done with the petrol feed...?
