i must be getting old it took a minute or two to work out the foot drawer - brilliant , a lovely piece of work . HM did however not approve the spelling mistake in the intro - unless of course it was a diary company  :)

Brilliant concept & beautifully put together, but I would have some concerns about where the centre of gravity is if there were two people in the back. An unintentional wheelie whilst in the throws of passion could be most unsettling.

tee hee malcolm . your throws of passion best kept out of a micro caravan . others may have throes of passion with perhaps less agility  :) HM

Dear Malcolm

For inexperienced users there are probably some stabilisers.

It looks like a scooter for one, where does your partner travel when moving from one site to another. I think it was constructed by Billy Nomates.
