UK/England had a class of handicapped vehicle post war- intended for legless vet's etc. -'Invalid Pram' as a wheel chair with engine assist. Minor loophole in the motor vehicle laws, wasn't a car or commercial vehicle or motorcycle exactly, just got lumped into Bicycle, etc/other equipment allowed on road. NO drivers license required, NO speed limit, not much equipment needed for daylight use- otherwise bicycle lights for night use. Laws got changed after a 'Invalid Pram' with a BSA(?) V-twin engine for police sidecar-(999cc flathead?)- use was clocked going over the speed limit and the one legged operator without drivers license pointed out the speed law didn't apply to him or some of the other exempt from road laws disabled people personal transports. A common make/model had a 125 to 200 Villiers 2 stroke engine- 2 to 5 hp- and was good for about 20mph, got a moped/disabled license plate later in the laws. MZ and later Suzuki and Yamaha dirt bike racing engines with 10 to 20 hp meant 45 to 60 mph possible and for a few drivers with drivers license pulled (overindulgence in pub specials) and some kind of handicap or disability noted on National Health Medical ID cards, the old loophole got closed regarding max hp- got dropped to about 2 hp as was 'Moped' limit, still have one or 2 grandfathered from the old law driving around. 'Top Gear' program I think had couple of them featured couple years back, likely been rerun from the original BBC/whatever broadcast previous years. RN.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
