Re: the mecano project
Kept me entertained for an hour bit like when the built a complete house out of Lego ... Good fun, but a completely useless house..
The thought of the meccanno three wheeler getting approval for use on the Manx roads was a little concerning.. Does that mean they could bring it over here and use it on UK roads holding up all the traffic wherever it goes too?

It took them nearly 3 days to do a lap! It was a little tedious at times, but interesting to a point.

Hi Ben,
I think he is going for the one man toboggan - saw a clip and it looked mental
I think there is a program about freeclimbers on tonight (don't look down) that looks alarming
