Non-pedal powered vehicles you drove

[Night Train]

Of course I mustn't forget this one.

Though I wouldn't mind having a go in this one.

S'great, grabs a tree, chainsaws it, strips the branches and cuts it into logs, in about a minute.

Richard Hammond's Crash Course, yesterday was him driving something like that and the rest of the logging plant.

Neat! Is that for downhilling? No means of propulsion I can see...

Looks just about the right level of suspension/stability for the average pavement...

 

[Baggy]

Almost all of these involved carting around horse-poo! The dumper was most fun, but had to be started by cranking...which often ended with scraped knuckles.

The hand grips are levers that drive through chains and freewheels I think, looking at the image.

Oh yes, I see now! Very cool!

It's like the odd one out round from Have I Got News For You.

The first 4 were used for carrying poo in one form or another.

Whereas the last one was poo*




*only joking, I've always had an affection for the Deux Chevaux. The Diane Dyane on the other hand did nothing for me.

I'm not surprised, if you kept spelling her wrong...

(Dyane).

Lovely little things, 2CVs. If everyone drove them, there wouldn't be nearly so many careless arrogant drivers around. When you only have one thin layer of steel plate between you and other traffic, you're a bit more aware!

I sit corrected Arch, now edited.

My B.I.L. had one and it would only start if it was pointing down hill and it wasn't raining, he didn't drive it much as I recall

 

[Night Train]

I'm still lusting after a full sized tractor.
All I have is my little electric one.

There is also that other little project vehicle of mine...

My Mini had a special built in climate safety system. In rain, fog, snow or ice, it wouldn't start, so I couldn't have an accident due to conditions...

Sometimes, it just decided the roads were too damn busy, and stopped.

I had to admit defeat and give it up when the passenger door fell off.

I loved that car.

I MUST find the photo!

Best I can do at the moment, cropped from the background of something else (with a radio aerial across it):

The roof was beige originally, but in the course of fixing a hole in the roof requiring some respraying, I decided to stripeyfy it. It became known as the Humbuggy.

It's great!
Was pulled up alongside a modern tractor the other day and realised just how huge they are compared the that old Massey Ferguson.

I overtook a low loader on the motorway today, with 3 brand new ones on. Huge!
