Hi folks. I've had a request from Mr rmichalbarna to post these little gems.

Apparently a colleague of his makes these for his children. And the chap also lent one to a friend who makes pedal cars.

The trucks are powered by 200cc engines.

Michal hopes you enjoy them.

Prior to my Joining up I was an apprentice Mechanical Engineer studying for my ordinary National Certificate (Now Diploma) My Lecturer at college was an ex Army REME VM and had served in Europe toward the end of the War,
At the time of my education Rear engined cars were quite popular,
Not just VW Beetles but the Renault Dauphin and the Fiat 500/600 and the Hillman Imp not forgetting GMs rear engined flat six but our teacher would go on about the reason Mr Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia,
Yes it was of course for the only Heavy Tank Germany had at the start of the invasion of France the Czech designed and built 38T but also the Tatra engineering works which was building some of the finest air cooled petrol and diesel engines to be found anywhere at the time,
He would go on about Pre war rear engined Tatra cars with aircooled V8s at a time when the usual British car engine was a 4 cylinder water cooled side valve.
Tatra have a long history in all aspects of vehicle design and development although today they concentrate as these great pictures show on Heavy Trucks,
I envy the children who are able to "Play" with these "Toys". :thumbup:
