Re: Awesome!!!!!!!!!
I found more and better pics here:

If you click the little picture to the right of the main image at the top, it rotates the images through the viewer, rather than having to click the individual images.
Still looking for more pics and more info.

Group shots and a little more info:

The only other thing I found was a crappy slide show on YouTube. I'm curious what that orange coupe is behind the background.

February 15, 2010: Just learned that DMVhas revoked the registations for these bumper cars.
"It was a mistake by the field office staff, said Jan Mendoza, a DMV spokeswoman."
"Our registration division was sent these same photos some years back, and have since corrected their registration," she said. These cars no longer have California plates, she said."

Re: Awesome!!!!!!!!!
Could you actually register and insure these for public roads?
Maybe for the winter you could throw the body on a snowmobile instead of a quad
Ok answered my own question by looking at the pictures.
Edit: reason Doh!

Re: Awesome!!!!!!!!!
The info I found on the Flicker page says that the licenses were a DMV mistake and were revoked. That sucks, because I'd rather see these things cruising around than a lot of the motorized scooters and other POS you see out there.soniccj5 wrote:Could you actually register and insure these for public roads?

Yes, but it's not one of the bumper cars, which has me wondering what it is, quarter scale? Go cart??Charlie don't surf wrote:Isn't that coupe a Willys?

Re: Awesome!!!!!!!!!
I doubt it because when the camera pans around to the yellow bumper car with flames, the orange car isn't that far away. I'm thinking it's either a 1/4 scale or a go cart type of thing.badhoopty wrote:pretty sure its full size.Lowgear wrote:It might be full size and just a matter of perception.

Re: Awesome!!!!!!!!!
I was thinking of the Legends series racers when I saw it.
My guess is that it's a one-off that someone labored on for years.
Definitely not full-sized though...
That's what she said.
