Funny "locost" picture
My sister found a picture, from Me and her and the first locost I’ve build. Talking about really lightweight, Colin Chapman would be jealous, when hey
could see this!

You can tell that it's pre-SVA
Did it have any brakes?

To bad, it's an Eight
Funny to see, maybe there is a Gene in the DNA which causes these Locost-disease.
Please feel free to correct my bad English, i'm still learning. Your Dutch is awfull! :-)

For sure, I also built soap box karts as a kid.
We had a nice hill at the end of our street where I grew up, and all the local kids built soap box karts - a few planks of wood, 4 pram wheels and a
bit of rope for steering. For brakes we just steered into some long grass/ bushes at the bottom of the hill.
One kid, whose father was in the motor trade, built a HUGE kart, with car wheels, using two car rear axles. The front one with the diff flange upmost,
nailed to the main beam to give the steering, still controlled by a rope tied to the hubs. It went like hell down the hill, but needed every kid in
the street to push it back up

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.
