    First thing I noticed...That'll get about a half-mile down the road before it breaks! Love the concept, though.

    I like this one a lot. The hand cranked diesel is an amazing find. I have been on the lookout for one of these engines, just to have something to tinker on now that we can't import the Listeroid type of diesel engines. Thanks for posting this.

    Looks like it would climb a tree or at least knock it down. Cool!! Reminds me of a Rokon, Mad Max style.
