G'day Max and Norm

Yep, even John Ellis, the leading authority on Shanks,
corrected the record in his definitive book ...

Max, great images of the oddities.
The Benz one really highlights the origins of the 'horseless carriage'.

The Old Lawnmower Club has great records of the 'Mower Pusher' -
another oddity for sure ... note how one version converted push mowers
to self-propelled. The other version did this but added a trailing seat
to make the mower both self-propelled and a ride-on!

Shanks' Pony would roll over in its grave! laugh

I love Max's pointing out the metaphorical 'horse of 10 toes'.
It beautifully explains the burden of poor folk in this decadent World.
Fantastic, Max!
