As an 11 year old he started on the right track by fitting a motorcycle engine to a baby’s pram.

This guy is truly talented.

Memo: Must add to shopping list….

Now that would rekindle my long term drag car project….lol 😮
Must look on eBay for the rest of the kit required… hmmm let’s see……

1) Ladder frame chassis (or B&Q step ladder conversion if budget tight) :rolleyes:

2) 50 Gal Oil Drum – make a suitable fuel tank for short duration runs me thinks 😎

3) Set of nice alloys with big fat tyres on (that eliminates chipmunk mains then :diablo: )

4) Daredevil attitude mixed with a dash of inspired stupidity (won’t go more than 30p max bid on that though)

5) One set extra extra large fireproof full spec racing coveralls (need the xxl for when I s*** myself running a griffon powered B&Q ladder framed screwed up drag car down Bruntinthorpe’s runway at next open day 😮

Enough I hear you cry – ok, moment of madness finished now….lol

Yep, should leak well, especially with no propshaft, or, well, much else really!
