a great find, I didn't understand a word but they created a fabulous piece of kit. Not sure of the other items in their garage though

Re: Leotard 6 wheeler version as seen on P3

So the extra rear axle is powered by a fanbelt or toothed belt drive?  I wonder how often that pops off (not a showstopper I guess).
If all they wanted was more rear grip and drive, they could have done a 'top gear' and bolted another pair of wheels onto the rear ones - no need to do all that bodywork and engineering and no rubber bands to worry about either.
I suppose he just makes a living stretching cars!

The Youtube recommended videos on the right looked interesting too - a different type of leotard.
