hah awsome!.....20 paces foward...20 paces back?!

[brianwatt]

Yup, as I push the car backwards the band is stretched and wound up. Then as I ride the car the band unwinds until halfway when it begins to wind back up slowing the car down and then going in reverse. No brakes are needed!

[emojman]

cool!

[brianwatt]

thanks

[wessellonus]

haha, can you use it actually for something, or is it just some funny rumble?

[brianwatt]

It's a fun car which is fast enough for little children to experience on their own or on their parents laps

[llbb010]

Add a steering wheel and a way to keep the car running (pully system of some sort) and you got a future-istic automobile

Can it clock 88 miles per hour? I need to get back to 1955 to marry my mother.
