Title: SOLVED: Djetset #386 - Lightning Race Car for kids
Post by: Djetset on August 12, 2010, 02:03:08 PM
Do you know what this is called, and what makes it quite unusual to gain a point?

The Rookies have currently got more than enough puzzles to keep them guessing, so I will clear some space and move this one up a level.

Electrically powered wouldn't be too different?
Perhaps another aspect relating to propulsion?

I don't think he's selling it. He just wants the name, and what makes it unique.

Er that was what I was asking - was it a pedal car or not - not sure where the selling comment came from? It looks too small to be driven by an adult so I thought it might be a childs pedal car...

Now now children!

It is indeed the Lightning Race Car for kids (although an adult can fit - just).  It is powerd by an electric drill motor, but the unique information I was hoping for is that this 'car' is cleverly based around a household plastic waste rubbish bib/trash can.  I will give Barret though point though anyway.

"Grille" and head-lights are fitted in the bottom of that trash can, right?
Cool ready-made and easy to recycle! ;D

Sorr Djetset I didn't read the question fully I guess, although the means of power is fairly unique in itself, no?!

That's very true Barrett; no problem.

The main body of the car is made from a swing-top rubbish bin/ trash can, with the front being the base.  The wheels are from a kids push chair!
