Lol, I know I don't draw really well ;) I'm only 14 years old! I love your mini schmitt, nice idea, making a tiny car even smaller!

Hi,
I saw the photos of the mini schmitts, and decided to draw them
So that's what you do during a dull maths lesson. ;) Mind you, so did I. By the time I left school, my maths book had more traffic running along the bottom of the pages than the M25 in rush-hour. One day my book came back from marking with a teacher's note asking "Is this an Austin Ruby", to which I replied "Close, it's a Morris Eight". ;D
Lego: mmmm, One day I'll show you how to make a lego Invacar Model 70, as patented by me.... ;) Oh come on everybody, you lot probibly had Mechano. Me. I had Lego, & yes, it's still fun, even though I'm nearly 30 ! 8)

How ddi you know? Seriously, the red roadster was in maths! The TG500 ( or TG50 ;) ) was done in free lessons. If you want to see other schmitt drawings ( these are concepts ) here are some I done in lessons and free hours ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu5Z59kFGgE
Do you know MOCpages.com ? It is a site where you upload all your lego models, you could put the invacar on there! Here are my lego cars http://www.mocpages.com/folder.php/61893 The Schmitt is at the bottom.

How did we know? Because that's what most of us did!
Yup, I too think the Evans "mini-'shmitts" are really worth drawing.
Just a thought, but let's say they are successful and produced for X years making X number of them, and then stop them and start making other products.
Then skip forward a couple of decades.
Will we then see someone else making REPLICA Evans mini 'Schmitt replicas?!
That would be great, a replica of a replica.

Yeah! Just imagine what cars will be like in 100 years, maybe hovering? Whatever they will be, they will never be as good as the schmitts ( but probably more reliable and more fun than a 175, which is apparently a d*ck to drive)
I will try and make a Invacar soon, but we don't have much maersk blue, we have blue, red, white, black, grey, and a few other colours.
-
Maersk Blue, or Toilet Blue as some call it!

yeah, spaz-chariot toilet blue, I heard that before ;)

*Gnashes teeth & shudders at the above two posts. The correct terminogy is "Ice blue". ::)
yeah, s**z-chariot toilet blue, I heard that before ;)
And the above term of referance is banned within 200 yards in any direction of the ICR's earshot. I can see I'm going to have to "educate" you. young fella-me-lad....
-
Ah Stuart, Young-Fellow-Me -Lad! Read the two posts again carefully: I wrote Toilet Blue as some call it, and JP wrote "spazz chariot toilet blue, I heard that before.
Neither of us were using those words ourselves, just referring to the fact that others use those words!
Marcus neatly side-steps the flak, don't shoot the messenger(s)! ;D
Whew, I think I got away with one. Move right along folks, nothing more to see. As of now the words "Toilet Blue" no longer exist and must never be used again. No more mention of Toilet Blue, no more thinking the words Toilet Blue, writing the words Toilet Blue, or even telepathic transmission of the words Toilet Blue. The words Toilet Blue no longer exist. :o

Dear Stuart
Is LAV-ender blue not one of the BOG standard AC colours?

So that will be Sp-Ice Chariot Blue then.

Marcus was right, I heard it ;) Anyway, Spaz is not a rude-word, it is a short way of saying Spastic. A " spaz " is a Handicaped person, what the Invacar is made for ;)
Jonathan
PS: I need photos of the Lego Invacar!
-
Well Spaz, like any word is not rude in itself, but it depends on who says it and with what intention. If I were to call my disabled girlfriend a spaz, she would know I was only joking and teasing her, but in any situation other than in private conversation (where people will understand the way in which it is being used) it is potentially offensive and politically incorrect, and best not used!
-
Yes Marcus is right, as much as I like it and used it all the time when aI was at school the term could be offensive. There is no reason why we cant continue to wind Stuart up by saying Toilet blue as much as possible though! ;D After all that what the page in RCN was called for years, why break with tradition?

I think you mean 'Why break wind with tradition, there'!
-
Well quite. I don't really bare IC's or Stuart any malice, its just that I grew up with my father always driving a Reliant and whats more they were always blue ones, after years of your school friends saying we saw you riding in your dads invalid carriage or to be more accurate [sp...wagon] it tends to leave you with a severe aversion to the things. Then when getting re-involved in microcars some years later and finding that they have a following amongst the weird and whats more have attached themselves to the microcar movement this has left me in need of some serious therapy! ;D ;D
-
I certainly have no problems with ICs, or anyone who is interested in them. They are a valid part of motoring history and brought mobility to thousands. Stuart's efforts are all the more praiseworthy because they are the very things most people are particularly disinterested in. My interest in them is limited, because I only really like 3 wheelers which have 2 front wheels, but all hail to Stuart for chronicling a part of history which would otherwise be forgotten.
Er, this does not prevent me from teasing him about Toilet Blue etc sometimes! ;D

That is to feed the Hamster.
A lot of people seem to have an avertion to Sp-Ice Chariots. This is natural as anything to do with negativity and illness tends to be shunned. Also the majority were not 'cars' but 'appliances' so treated as a special case in motoring. So a bit of jealousy coming in there too. It is, however, traditionally perverse for the sort of folk who would support useless small cars to thus start to protect unwanted and unpopular 'appliances' rather than rush off and buy the latest in camper van technology or something. Beyond that it is a matter of taste I imagine. However they will always be S***z Chariots to me, sorry.

Lego: mmmm, One day I'll show you how to make a lego Invacar Model 70, as patented by me.... ;)
And here it is, as built by me in 1991. It could also double for a Reliant Regal in a differant colour & with a steering wheel subsituted.

That's great Stuart, James May would like that!

There is going to be a Lego Peel isn't there? I can feel it coming. Will it be a real Lego one or a replica? Argh!

Nice Morgan Jap model!
Here are 2 I made years ago of cigar tins and household junk, with only memory and 1 fuzzy photo of each to go by:

i thought we had had enough of this . obviously we are going to need guidlines on this forum . there are some words ( and more importantly thoughts) that are not acceptable anymore . and thank god for that i say !
if you were a public figure and known to be using such terms you would undoubtably be out of office by now.
sorry Jonathon but to find that your generation are no more enlightened than were my schooldays is surprising and disapointing.
whats next are we to have the N***** word appearing
STOP IT NOW

You don't need to dig em out, I'm scanning them now!
-
I just scanned them, here is the scan of the âge ( contains instructions for the adults that want to be kids again lol )

Next up, a lego IC, probably just like Stuart's, but one day I will make one " ice blue " in good size :)
-
well done but i meant to photograph my meccano model for the forum tried to scan it but it didnt fit in :)

Hahaha Is it the same model though?
-
my models are themselves needing restoration . must have robbed the seats and screens for another kit. will try and find the parts to rebuild them
-
Well yes. Allow me to redirect you to a toy forum, this ones for microcars!
-
Hows about this ???
Looks much better to me to be honest

very nice but typically Peel - all repro not an old one in sight :D
Bob wants his moped and cyclemotor spot back or he will throw HIS toys out of the pram . ;D ;D
-
I've never ever seen an old Peel model car. Do they actually exist ?

Alright alright Tricky Dicky! Point taken, You boys play with your Lego, I'm off out to drive a Microcar and I don't mean on the kitchen table! ;) Things with real "ingins" :D

Yeah, this is an engine that runs on AIR made with lego http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEnqMpuft6g
Bet it uses a lot less fuel than your inters ;)
-
I looked at the clip and think its fantastic Jonathan! To be honest though it looks like its made from a bit more than lego. How far will it drive a car for before you have to get out and pump it up?
I dont really care what people post about on this forum but people are not going to be interested in everthing put up in the same way that not everyone will be interested in getting ones hands dirty , restoring and driving microcars. Its a free for all really so as long as things didnt seriously gravitate to a subject unconnected to microcars who cares!

Hi Bob,
It IS 100% lego, apart from the plastic bottle that holds the air ( well, I guess air isnt lego either ;) )
Lego is a lot more technical then in the old days. I have a 60s train set that is really nice and really valuable, but the new lego is more " useable ". I would say though that the 80's had the best sets, because that is when THIS came out: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/8880
They have loads of old sets with pneumatic cylinders, just that there expensive lol.

If it promotes young engineers I am all for it.

BTW, I have edited some pics of ym Nobel, one of what it should en up like, but better of course, i don't want half and indicator ;) and an old version of the pic.
