It don't need pedals, It's a scooter, can't you see?
Mind you it does'nt have any wheels either!
Reckon I could make one of those!
A bit of scaffolding and some industrial size bog rolls. Add a bit of Ali for the flap thingies and voila!

Stella artois, I had a few of those in Belgium! They also had one called Leoff(sp?) that was good too.
I'll be in Belgium again soon so I'll continue my "site survey".
Cant say that I've seen carlsberg here. 
I only have one or two a week here but I drink like a fish Europe.Maybe there is something to this...
What does an Ultima go for anyway?
cheers Fletch
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy...

All right I'll put my hands up!
Wot let the cat out of the bag?
Was it the exagerations or the little mistake (forgot the bit of spong for the seat)?
What do you think of the next book (avatar) project?
It will cost a little more than the 7 style as a few more materials will be needed (£350).
It will use similar chassis to seven with a simple chicken wire and papier mache' body molded over it.
Light weight and easy repair!
Good eh?

Most Ultima builders pay a packet for the kit, so they tend to go for the 'I've spent so much, I'm not going to spoil it by being
cheap' approach. For example, buying the Ultima wheels will cost you £1000 ($1500) per corner!
Expect to spend around £35,000 ($55,000) to get a well-finished example on the road!

David

David, I agree with all that especially the $1000 per corner bit........
The basic kit here is around $27600
then wheels (4k)
then transmission (5k?)
then engine (10/15K?)
etc....
Nice car, but soon adds up....

Yes, it's expensive, but you are getting a 200+mph supercar! They are often seen on TV in GT races, running against McLaren F1s, monster
Porsches, and so on.

Yes, indeed.....
Compared with what else you would have to buy to equal the performance then it IS good value.......
Just out of my league..
