    If I hadn't met you I might think you're nuts.

    I'm too fragile, I'd break. You're young and bendy. :D

    I and everyone else who was there also have faith in your driving and cart making skills, you whooped the lot last time. :)
    I wanna join in a bit even at a distance on TLB.
     
  6. The trike may be available for eastnor
     
  7. if it's going to look like a log, why not use Leaf springs for the suspension....:thumbsup:

    also...if you know the length/gradient of the course you can work out the ideal weight for the buggy...

    I nominate @sANDYbAY for driver then, fill him up with custard and he's game for anything.

    Ah! A challenge. :)

    I'm in the van in Holland though otherwise I'm just stupid enough to be convinced I should do it..
     
  12. That may be 'branching' out a bit far ;)

    I know the legnth, but not the gradient. I want my cart to be functional, but it needs to be a laugh too. From what they've told me, it's as much, if not more, about putting on a bit of a show and entertaining the crowd, than being amazing feats of engineering.

    S'all right. @sANDYbAY has stepped up to save us. I think he mentioned cancelling his holiday to crash test the flying log!

    I don't remember saying that. It must have been that new fangled "auto forum replies" App I've just installed.
