Something is wrong with how my new desktop interacts with this website. I can't quote, and I can't paste...

 

I had to type out all 5 URLs...

 

 

Anyway, we are still about a month away from Top Gear's new series. So, in the meantime, Captain Slow has broken out his toy chest again, and put together another episode of Toy Stories.

 

This time he's taken the building set Meccano (know in North America as Erector [they used to be competing products, but they eventually found themselves owned by the same people]) and used it to build a full sized, road legal motorcycle with sidecar.

 

His goal: one lap of the famous and dangerous "Isle of Mann TT" Snaefell Mountain racecourse.

 

Which, for the record, is 37.25 miles long.

 

Equal to driving from the foot of the Queensboro bridge to Commack, straight along NY rt. 25.

 

or three laps of the Nurburgring's North Loop course.
