"Monster Garage"! :-)

I like that idea!... I could weld barrels onto the axils and put paddles

on
them. That way I could just change the wheels and drive on in. On the

front I
could either run a chain to spin them from the rear or use them to stear.

Now
that I think on it more heck I've alwayse dreamed obout building a

car-boater
thing. That is drive up to the water (maybe pulling it on a trailor) put

the
boat in the water and drive onto it. strap on and use the car's wheels to

drive
a wheel rigged onto a prop. Could use a car-differential in reverse tied

to a
prop. That way even reverse would work, And whatever the gearing a
chain-sprocket mechanism could adapt it. hmmm why arent these things for
sale??? Hasent such a thing been done? Just saw the wheel-drive-on

cyllendars
used at the motor-vehicle-immisions testing system. Seemed they worked

pretty
well.
