Well, the fenders are a weak point. They tend to flop around and fall off fairly
easily. Also the motor is a little weak for pushing around this kind of brick
count, but if you give it a helping push it vrooms most satisfactorily. I
haven’t tried it on shag pile though, all my floors are polished timber (which
is excellent for vrooming).
I guess I should also say that this car was in no small way inspired by
this picture from the Hot Wheels catalogue - a goldmine of ideas if ever there
was one.

I’ve filed this away for ‘borrowing’ later....it would make an awesome
expedition vehicles for my much threatened Big Ship someday.

With all those ideas you’re filing away, this alleged ship is gonna have to be
freakin’ huge just to fit them all in ;) Can’t wait to see it.
