Hey Stew, you are giving me ideas for my mobility scooter here that I don't think the boss would approve of.  Ann uses it more than I do these days and she recons that 8 MPH is too fast. :zap:

Cheers Dek. :med:

Great vid!  :thumbup:

The remote wheely bin reminds me of my three. Chasing around the patio, like daleks. During the recent gales......  :palm:

Speaking of jet powered toys, have you seen this crazy guy?

Science is fun.

Hey, I just watched that Jet Kart Video to the end then the theme music came on. Dead give away (well I thought it was) so looked at the post details. John Doubleboost strikes again.  :lol:   :lol:
