While waiting for a friend in Cape Town, I spotted this rare conveyance coming down the street and snapped some pics.
(No, it's not the blue one... :rolleyes: )

This perticular model is an open top, dual solid-axle example. It has a removable passenger seat and 1 (one) bhp of power. From what I've heard, the acceleration is not too good, but these beauties should have a top whack of about 15-20mph, depending on conditions. Same goes for gas milaege...
While the ride is very smooth, the steering is apparently a bit vague and the engine is a bit moody. Most models also suffer from occasional nasty exhaust gasses from the front-mounted engine. :D

Hey, if you like those, you gotta come to PA. Head over to Lancaster, and you will be in you're own little amish heaven! The women there are hot hot hot too. (I hear the easier ones show their ankles!) Just grow a beard, and head over!

Tinman: Erghh, thanks but no thanks. :P
