Really not. The feature I mean is not SO special, but is quite interesting.

It's hard to tell, but I think it doesn't. However, it's not what I'm after.

It is self-built, but there's nothing about being "the first " or something.

Post by: Paul Jaray on June 18, 2010, 04:09:01 AM: Is it about its materials or construction?
Like the 1st car build with recycled materials or with pieces of different nature...

Very well!

... but this vehicle has nothing what can be said "being first", I suppose. The 2nd question is simple just like the answer. But I am going to give a point for it. :)

Plastic body?

Not plastic, but you're on a very good track with this guess.
Title: Re: A#375
Post by: Paul Jaray on June 18, 2010, 05:10:22 AM: One-piece body?

Not his.

Post by: Otto Puzzell on June 18, 2010, 05:24:23 AM: Perhaps the body is wood.

It's the best guess yet, but still not correct.

No, it is engine-powered, so you have to tell what engine did it use. Question about bodywork is locked for this moment. I haven't asked about the builder who is, I am almost sure, the man behind the steering wheel. It would be worth additional 2 points, but...

That's correct! This car has a bodywork made of carboard! The first point is gone :)
