Do you happen to have any bigger pictures of it?

Do you happen to have any bigger pictures of it?

Looks good to me, but then I'm using a 32 inch widescreen monitor.

Man thats a HUGE picture for my little 17" monitor !!

Scull, that sure looks like a fun lil' car to drive, cool!

32" monitor,,,, that must be sweet for sure!

It might be interesting to see the front half of this picture? What is the power train? Probably one of those ancient internal combustion engines that we keep hearing are soooo baaaaad for the polar bears?

Scull, did you have this car at the MotorSports 2008 show at the Tacoma Dome last month? Saw one just like it but didn't get a good pic of it.

Yeah, my wrist got tired of moving the mouse back and forth to see everything on the 19" screen, so now my wrist don't hurt but my eyes get tired of moving left to right, right to left, left to right, etc, etc, etc. Just no happy medium.

Sorry, my popup blocker prevented me from receiving a message regarding the power train. Still wondering.

Looks good.




I have wondered how hard it would be to get a legend car street legal.

it's a 1100 v-twin honda with a chain drive with a special adapter that hooks a drive shaft to a custom made toyota rearend,,, for more pics go to the H A M B or jalopy journal,, type dwarf car in the search and it should show up,, or go to live search and put " street legal dwarf car" and some pics should show of the whole car,, thanks

hope this pic answers the Question.. still don't know why it's loading so big,, and yes it was at the T dome motor sports show,,,thanks

The Dwarf in the picture looks to be enjoying the heck out of it!
Does he get to drive? I hope you can fit in there! Those old honda engines are great!

Thanks for the picture of the engine, that is really neat! I live about 200 yards from a Harley Davison Agency and wondered whether an enclosed trike would give good mileage but the big Harleys only get about 35 mpg and it is not worth the effort to get a few more mpg. I don't suppose you have any mpg data for the dwarf?

Don with the right setup a 80 cu inch Harley will get 45mpg. Also the old 4 cylinder Honda 750cc engines are capable of excellent mpg and quick accelleration with their 4 carbs!
