I was scanning fleabay today and spied this pic in an advert for the car cover seen in the rear.
What caught my attention was the "cart"?? in front.
Cool. Wish I had one to give to some lucky kid.
:driving:

Oh that's cute.
Now I'm envisioning what could be done with an old riding lawnmower with the deck and body panels removed. Build a car body out of plywood, paint it up and there you go! (I have an old riding lawnmower I no longer use due to something or other, good engine though).

Of course 12HP would be a bit much for young kids.

Gosh, that isn't much less than a stock Bugeye come to think of it.
And the weight/HP ratio or HP/LB would be awesome like 1/8 or 1/10.
 
Be easy to make up molds to do that in fiberglass. Kinda looks like that one may be made of GRP. They may be for sale somewhere.

Kurt.
 
Either that or some Shriner is missing a little car.
 
:lol:
 
I luv that and want one!
 
There is one danger to smaller Sprites... large, wild animals... like this Westie (named Busby).
 
I see a Japanese Movie coming - Dogzilla meets Frogeye! If you reverse the order of those cars you ought to be able to force the perspective and make them look the same size. :smile:

Great idea! I'm planning..............

Still haven't gotten a shot of him in the REAL car appearing to drive it. That's going to take a lot.
 
Oh my eight year old son would love that!
