I saw 3 of those driving through Amsterdam a few weeks ago, it must've been some kind of promotion ride or driving them to a dealership of some sorts.. I've never seen them on the road before that.
It was cool to see them all 3 going through a sharp corner one after the other.

When i was looking for a company a while back in an industrial area i found out that these things were actually built in my home city! (Dordrecht, The Netherlands) I already knew they were from my area, but i never new they were actually building them about 10km from my house.. images/smilies/smile.gif

So now every now and again i drive past the workshop to drool. (the garage door is almost always open) images/smilies/smile.gif And every time i do i feel tempted to ask for a test drive, but every time i chicken out... images/smilies/smile.gif

the t-rex is a basically the same concept as the carver but opposite (one wheel on the front vs one wheel on the back)

but the t-rex doesnt have the awesome lean!
