Pointless & impractical vehicles

No idea if I'm honest.

If you zoom in there seems to be no top run to the tracks. So I think it's a fake picture. However, here's a picture of a real one.

Interesting. Is it a forestry machine? I've seen a broadly similar-ish tracked steam engine in a museum in Finland (Rovaniemi Forestry Museum) which was used for hauling logs.

The one I saw looked older and less powerful. Not that I'm any kind of judge of these things.

On second thoughts I think it's photoshop or maybe AI.

Not AI, since the photo has been floating around since at least 2014 if you search it on tineye

I think that's a good concept, put the driver at eye level to Cyclists and Pedestrians

And that overhang at the front can decapitate passers by!

Based on a Mini. I think there were three or four of them built.

For some reason, I have it in my mind that they made some peas as well...

If it wasn't so early, you could almost swear it was one of Percy Hobart's "funnies"
