Saw these things on The Amazing Race...and they look like a blast.

The Dutch are rather quirky and inventive. I enjoy visiting the Netherlands and while a bit pricey, the cost to rent for 2 hours is about the same as a 5 star dinner...with drinks etc...

Hot Tug...

OK...HotTugs aren't hot...

Maybe a vintage bumper car turned into a ...real car?

Humans are wacky...but fun...










....They run on either Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle engines and co-opt vintage bumper car bodies into the most awesome form of mini-car we’ve seen in too long.

There are seven of these little monsters floating around California , and they’re all the creation of one man, Tom Wright, a builder in the outskirts of San Diego who figured the leftovers of the Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap.

They were originally powered by two cylinder Harley Davidson Motorcycle engines but they rattled like heck because of the two cylinder vibration and Tom replaced them with four cylinder Honda or Kawasaki 750’s and a couple have been measured as capable of 160 MPH, which is terrifyingly fast in machines with such a short wheelbase.

By the way, they are almost indestructible in accidents!
