what an odd vehicle

kinda pointless cause you can't turn lol.

But it is quite weird.

I seen that thing before on the interwebs, but I can't remember how where or why.

From memory the guy who built it was working towards breaking the one wheeled vehicle land speed record. Hence turning wasn't much of a concern but speed was. I've seen footage of it going much faster :-)

I remember reading on his site he was considering building another model to beat the speed record. However he's going to have a tough time beating the Maclean Rocket Roadster
