Hmmmm lets see... Ministock - done loads from racers to an Ateam Van and an extra wide uncontrollable one with an engine Lowrider shopper bike - done one CO2 rocket - made a rocket hovercraft with two leafblowers and a CO2 rocket for a kid's tv programme ages ago. Jet scooter - made one Pogo stick with a car spring - last thing I made Actually that's a lie, I made a tennis ball cannon out of baked bean cans, gaffer tape and drain pipe. Looking at xlr8r's be-engine'd skateboard reminded me that I was going to make a pulsejet skateboard running on propane but I never got around to making it. Maybe it's time for some zany projects after the Anglia is done  |

I've already built a load of them but I'm sure there will be more ideas to come. It's a continuously evolving process.
On the "done" list are the valve stereo amplifier, the tandoor and the fighting robots but on the "to do" list at the moment are the wood fired domed pizza oven, the electric car and a large piece of scientific equipment.
I've always rather fancied building a street legal microcar for some reason too.

My wants are modest! amongst other things, for some weird reason, I fancy building a working scale model of one of these:  (the yellow one!) A Federal Thunderbolt T1003! used for decades in the USA for all sorts, from nuclear alerts to tornado warnings! have a look on youtube, there are loads of vids, they sound way haunting! I think the T-bolt was the only supercharged civil defense siren made aswell! I suppose I could always make a model of the Chrysler Victory siren using a Rover V8... no stoppppp!  ;D |

One of these  With one of these mid mounted  The logic being that - as the proportions of the fastback are a bit funny ( the panel between the back of the door and the wheel arch being too long) there is plenty of room for a midmounted motor! (Well that's what I keep telling myself!). Inspired in part by this:-  ;D |
