but does hunching over the wheel make it go faster?


its got to be more useful than the old style speeders we used to see, and maybe more efficient/cheaper than the converted pick-up trucks used now on NA railways.

What's next - maybe a Vanagon with wings? I'd pay money to see that! Smile

It did start research on the convertible van or Convertigon, which was later discontinued due to poor rollover performance.
That will be a dollar. Laughing
