Velocars and other interesting vehicles.

"Apparently men liked to watch these events because they could catch the sight of a nice ankle or a well turned calf."
How shallow of them. I never admire the lady racers attributes at my local velodrome.

 

[bluegoatwoods]

Wheelbender is right. Admiring the racer, as opposed to the race, would be shallow.

But you'll note that the absence of those burka-like clothes today is a good indication that we've all done some maturing since.

We can now be trusted to keep our minds on what really matters.

 

[wheelbender6]

It's just despicable and shameful to admire the lady racers' sweaty attributes in skin suits and flowing hair while they lap the velodrome.
Track season starts Mar 7 in Katy.

I've been told ladies don't sweat, they glisten.

Horses sweat, men perspire, ladies only glow.

They were glowing like pigs.

...couldn't be sure for above statesments - didn't have and do not have close experience neither with ladies nor with pigs on bicycles!

P.S.: What is in the races? Racers! Therfore, I should took good look at them... Men in lycra suits are boring! Ladies? Not so...

However Ludwig I hope you are not unwise enough to comment to a woman, - especially a significant woman in your life, - about her 'glowing ' state or else you will swiftly become the focus of her wrath.

 

[fasteddy]

It could be me but making a comment like that to any of the ladies that I've met over the years would be closely akin to backing into a spinning fan with your bare backside.

It would indeed be a disasster.

[FONT=Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif]... I was trying for 24 hours to find a way how to put LADY and PIG in the same sentence – and, finally found:[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif]"Some LADIES (as Circe) could transform some men (Odyssey’s friends) in to PIGS!"
Maybe such pigs should glow before Circe and sisters use them as food?[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif]P.S.: When my first wife lost her glow - I left her, or that was opposite? Long time ago... This one glows quite well, even in dark...[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif]P.P.S.: Could magic powers of Lady from Avalon be used in such experiment?[/FONT]

Having been married for 12 years now, I know far better than to call attention to any form of sweat on a woman, least of all my wife. If done in private, she likely wouldn't bat an eye. If done in public however, the only warning I might get before the storm would be a smoldering glare (capable of brazing brass). I know for a fact she has a far more devious mind than I do. I imagine revenge would be swift, well-planned and unavoidable. Worst of all: I have no idea what it would be. But I KNOW she wouldn't let it go unanswered. (I've known a couple of her ex-boyfriends. They talk.)

Wood gas tractor from America

 

[Intrepid Wheelwoman]

Oooooo I like that, thanks Ludwig

I like this too

 

[Semaj]

I wonder, is that white bit hanging down a written explanation of what powers the tractor?

I cant argue with a Dnepr

Peddle sub!
Needs some air though... apparently thats its one drawback.

 

[Intrepid Wheelwoman]

Just the thing for playing Jules Verne down at the river

I found this which I thought was cute. It's French of course......



It's an Auto Plume and the front folds out to reveal another seat for a particularly intrepid passenger to occupy.

 

[curtisfox]

I like that KOOOOOLCute it is.................Curt

 

[MEASURE TWICE]

The side car also beside AC should have an ice-cream machine going!

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]Great contribution![/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]... just to add a few wheels and we should have amphibian-HPV and with some wings we would conquer water, land and air!
Nice shape, indeed. I would like to have one or at least to try one, but...
(always that ugly BUT!) [/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]As always you found cute 3-wheeler! Could be made as replica or at least useful for some details! [/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]I was questioning myself where to put my wife? .. and, following your explanation, I found photos with a solution! Simple construction, but... (again, that BUT)[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]Seriously - it isn't easy to find proper position for passenger on smaller 3-wheelers, especially in tad-pole layout (two wheels at front). Delta layout (one wheel at front) is better for passenger and even some freight...[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]P.S.: Good that Auto-Plume had (probably) bad brakes?
