70MPH Mobility Scooter in the SNOW

 :thumbsup: cloud9:

You can find a decent number of 'unofficially' juiced up mobility scooters in Cornwall. The usual excuse is that because there are so many hills regular ones aren't up to the task but having seen the expressions on some of the people using them I'm pretty sure they are only a couple of Sanatogen away from attaching spikes and going all Mad Max on the pedestirans.  eeek:

Whats the difference between street legal in the US and UK?  rubschin:

World's only actual turbine powered Bat car

Speed bumps may be a problem but just the sound of that turbine going through town would be worth it.

Ok just out of interest, how much alcohol did it take before you thought putting a hyabusa engine in a lawnmower would be a good idea.  eeek:

Haven't seen that one yet, I did find a load of footage about upgraded golf carts but I can't really make any comments about that.  redface:

Bombing down a track on a modded cart that is running so hot its leaving a trail of molten plastic behind you is not fun.  noooo:

In my defence we were a lot younger and trusted our so called 'technical expert'.

But what's the point?
