Don't read this, Paul.

As if it wasn't enough that he should have about twice the points of his immediate follower, that he should solve the toughest puzzles.... No, we may do whatever we can, but when it comes to find the most rare and beautiful streamliners, or the strangest oddball cars, PJ is the master.

Your turn...

Is it a giant Roomba for parking lots?

Paul Jaray · May 07, 2009, 04:39:04 PM

Nope, and it's not an early Batmobile.

Paul Jaray · July 04, 2009, 02:51:31 PM

For this one, not the name, but the purpose is needed, and after all it won't be so hard...

Allemano · July 04, 2009, 04:11:07 PM

for heavy loads, maybe a tractor for rockets?

A giant leafblower for airport runways?

That's an idea! But not this....

guido66 · July 04, 2009, 04:45:15 PM

a huge runway de-icer?

Paul Jaray · July 04, 2009, 04:53:19 PM

Not a de-icer but your guesses are in the right direction....

guido66 · July 04, 2009, 04:59:08 PM

It's seems to be a bit over the top to use it to get rid of a flock of birds

Definetly, if you consider that in the airport where I work, they use vehicles like this:

for sport stadiums (to level off cinder tracks)?

Allemano · July 05, 2009, 03:53:05 AM

or a huge mower?

Not that...

Neither...

Built for an LSR attempt?

Not for speed records...

Otto Puzzell · July 05, 2009, 06:59:16 AM

For testing jet engines?

Paul Jaray · July 05, 2009, 07:02:41 AM

Not for that...

Otto Puzzell · July 05, 2009, 07:45:25 AM

Used to launch aircraft?

Paul Jaray · July 05, 2009, 07:56:45 AM

That's another project behind this....
one point for you!
Another point for the actual job of this ...thing.
It won't be so hard now...

Otto Puzzell · July 05, 2009, 08:06:46 AM

To launch the planes without a overly-long build up of speed - sort of like the catapult on aircraft carrier decks.

Paul Jaray · July 05, 2009, 08:10:18 AM

Yes, this was another project, but actually, this thing has been used for another purpose...

Otto Puzzell · July 05, 2009, 08:11:29 AM

To dry pavement?
