Okay, Louise and I will sit in front, but we need someone to grab those handles and take us where we want to go. -- Who'd make such a machine were the riders couldn't steer???

The controls are probably all cable operated. You could relocate them anywhere you want. That thing steers by moving the tracks at different speeds.

Looks like fun!

By the way, what were you going to use the tilt function for?

Well, the water cannon feature would be nice, but I'd rather have a flame shooter

Course, if you accidentally light your neighbor on fire, the water cannon could put em out, I mean, to be neighborly and all

Honda used to make a thing just like that... we called it a "Pack Track". It was an awesome machine. Any real mutant vehicle builder should be able to relocate operation controls!

Dang... That lets me out. I'm not a "real" mutant vehicle builder.

Phil,
I've been looking at what is called a walk behind tractor, two wheel tractor. they make a sulky seat, basically a two wheel axle with a seat on it, that hitches to the back, and then you drive away. That would be a cool vehicle.

> they make a sulky seat

Right! Now if only that tractor weren't five grand AUS.

Wow! I'd be seriously afraid when a dust storm blew up while we're in that rig. Love it on a calm day, however.

In a news story all Burners will understand, a man was given a ticket for driving an unregistered couch to a football game:
