Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)
What are you thinking of there mate? Building these things? There seem to be lots of wooden rocker toys of various styles but hovercraft are noticeable by their absence, so that's where the gap in that market would be! Make rocking wooden hovercraft, flog them and become a millionaire.
Or - and here's a cracking idea even if the voices in my attic do say so themselves - make things like this out of brick and concrete. I couldn't find any existing kiddies' rocking toys made from these traditional materials so you could be the first. In fact, if you could also make Spacehoppers from building materials, you'd be able to retire on the proceeds within the year. Possibly.
J "Home is where you park it", so the saying goes. That may yet come true..
i rebuilt a 30s rocking horse for no2.. thought a rocking car was a nice change from horses...concrete space hoppers? i can't really see those taking off
Just as well, it is more use as coke cans and refrigerators than a 4x4.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
Amazingly, they are slower, more rust prone and less reliable (I know on all points it is hard to believe).
If you want a 4x4 that isn't a land rover then buy a shogun or a land cruiser. the shogun is more comfy than the land cruiser on road, the land cruiser is better off road than the shogun. Personally, I would buy a range rover or a discovery but I may be biased
