I've seen that one before. A little complicated to get up-and-running, but it seems to run well. I gotta say, even if it does have all the neck-snapping acceleration of a Cub Cadet, I would drive or even own one in a heartbeat. I would have to have the raccoon coat, leather cap, and goggles to go with it though.

For those who thought the Bollee car was cool, another thing you all might want to look up are the DeDion Bouton trikes. (I hope I spelled the name right.) I've heard that collectors have had little trouble getting them into running order. Now, I happen to know that these things would be WELL over a hundred years old. And it takes almost nothing to get 'em running again? They were the best motors around in their day, the DeDion Boutons. Apparently they were made to last also.
