a real one of a tyke street legal:eek:

Adult-sized child made a street legal Little Tikes Car that goes 70mph

Do you know what the most disappointing thing about being an adult is? It's not the slow metabolism or the achy joints or the plateau of growth, it's the fact that we're all failures to our childhood selves. We don't eat candy, we don't play with toys and we drive responsible vehicles. Not John Bitmead though, he's the type of full-fledged adult who wouldn't disappoint his childhood self because he made a street legal Little Tikes Car that can zoom up to 70mph.

It's a very impressive machine. Bitmead spent over 1000 hours and nearly $7000 building this out and he tried to stay as true as possible to the iconic Little Tikes Car, meaning there isn't any windows or windshield. BBC took the car for a spin and you can see that it drives pretty well. How do you think it compares to the toy car?

Mr. Allen Swift (Springfield, MA) owned & drove the same 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-P1 Roadster for 82 years. A graduation gift, brand new in 1928, he drove it up until his death at the age of 102! Now in a museum the car has 1,070,000 miles on it! ...that's approximately 13,048 miles per year (1,087 per month) and it still runs like a Swiss watch. British Engineering at it's best...

 
A Walking Two-Legged Right Hand Drive Model T Ford

a early design for the star wars walkers:D

Surly someone must know something about this car. Is it real, a World War I design exercise, or is it a spoof? The photo was posted by Danny Weil at the Antique Motorcycle Club of America.

According to Life Savers, the brand was first marketed in 1912 after chocolate maker Clarence Crane developed a candy that would not melt in the summer heat. Crane sold his formula to Edward Noble who founded the Company in 1913, and introduced the foil and paper packed roll that soon become famous. You can follow the rest of the one hundred and twelve year timeline of the candy with a hole in the middle at Live Savers.
