They don't have any suspension, but the diameter of the wheel itself lend to its shock absorbing abilities, especially with those long wire spokes. It looks like he also adapted modern cantilevered brakes in place of the old leather spoonbrake against the tire method.
I love cool old stuff like this. Interesting to see that each clip is prefaced with such detailed information including commanding officer and mission number. Also of interest was seeing real planes and ground targets take damage, not just Hollywood's reinterpretation.
I live in the southwest. I've also driven bits and pieces of Route 66, but when you live in a place with the same scenery it offers, it just becomes another boring stretch of highway in the middle of nowhere.
That said, I would love to one day drive the remainder of it from one side to the other in one of my old cars.
Agreed, for certain repetitive motions, aid with lifting and any other myriad of real reasons it makes a lot of sense. The one thing I want to know though, is if you can get designer codpieces. If you can market designer cell phone straps then I'm sure everyone will have designer codpieces on their AWD's in the future.
Next I can envision more rotund cat doing this to become the next evolution in toy technology, log! "What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs? Rolls over your neighbor's dog?" Ah yes, the viral video will be great.
It's a real surprise though. The fact that it's a big baggy hoodie will hide your muscled ripped 'bod (okay, you're not fooling anyone and will get beat up).
I saw this one recently too. The writer of the story I read pointed out that if they could have agreed on a split, then no court would have been involved.
It took me a minute to find a few things after the re-design, but nothing too difficult. Maybe one day I too will make the Neatorama pilgrimage, but then again, I haven't even finished the latest Uncle John's Bathroom reader (another way Neatorama has led me to spend my spare time). Can't wait for the next mystery sale as I skipped the last one. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the update.
