    Garage Insanity......

    A 'special' bunch of gents on the Isle of Man who like putting engines in things that shouldn't have engines in them, such as this mobility scooter with a 600cc bike engine in it....

    Brilliant. Sheer lunacy. Makes you proud to be British.

    Or possibly Atari.

    Indeed, I stand corrected.
    I would argue that they share some eccentricities !

    Re: Garage Insanity......

    I would like to do something like that, if only I knew how mobility scooters work... oh wait I do

    second hand scrap scooters are easy to come by aswell.

    even got a hydraulic lift

    just need to find a suitable engine and I'm pretty much set



    I think theres something in the irish sea air causing all this madness. or the sellafield leak in 2005
