Ah, unicycle drag racing. Haven't seen that for a while. It was supposed to be the next big craze a few years back but seems to have disappeared now. I'm curious -what do the baked bean cans do on that top one?

Yeah, that must be where I saw 'em. How do you steer it? Or do you just point it in the right direction & pray?

That's a bit loopy in't it! What motor's in that? And how did you manage to post film clips? Didn't know we could do that here! I've got a video of the toy run a few weeks back. Anyone know how to transfer it to something digital so it can be posted along with the photos in the Gallery?

It's a video -as in VHS. Janie leant it to me but I haven't got a video player -or a TV, so can't view it till I visit Rainbow again. Is there any way of transferring video to disc?

yep with a Video player and a TV in card in your computer, or someone with a tidy DVD stand alone recorder,
