Wouldn’t these be fun!!

You remember driving the bumper cars at a fair, don't you? They were so much fun. Well, now what do you do with old Bumper Cars? (and check out the license plates!) WHO KNEW?



















Yes, you read that right; these little beasties are street legal. They run on either Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle engines and co-opt vintage bumper car bodies into the most awesome form of mini-car
we've seen in too long.

There are seven of these little monsters floating around California , and they're all the creation of one man, Tom Wright, a builder in the outskirts of San Diego who figured the leftovers of the Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap.

They were originally powered by two cylinder Harley Davidson Motorcycle engines but they rattled like heck because of the two cylinder vibration and Tom replaces them with four cylinder Honda or Kawasaki

750's and capable of 160 MPH, which is terrifyingly fast in machines with such a short wheelbase.
