Too cute! A vintage snowmobile? But sheesh a convertible ought to give you a 100 degrees below zero wind chill up there today?

And Dude, where are the block, tank and radiator heater cords?

You hardy soul!

They are not needed since kept in a heated garage.

No doubt then why it appears in mint condition with no salt on the roadway either.

Since cars depend more on the front brakes to stop or slow down how responsive is that lil Nash Rambler? Wasn't there a song about it in the 60's?

for those who prefer the 2 wheeled version

Mickie · January 05, 2014, 01:14:08 AM

I'll just jam on with one of these

At least it's got heat!

LordKAT · January 05, 2014, 02:13:22 AM

Nices! Mine has a trac instead of tires and chains. I like yours.

Mickie · January 06, 2014, 12:18:13 AM

Lawl. It's multipurpose. Like the com-vee

MadeleineG · January 06, 2014, 07:46:05 AM

And then there's the Churchill Tundra Buggy.

LordKAT · January 06, 2014, 07:48:49 AM

Looks sort of like a bus on steroids. It would be cool to drive around but sell when the gas tank was empty.

The muskeg is too soft to support standard tires, so they use the massive tires w/ super-high suspension to spread out the weight. IIRC, they recycle the chassis of Fort Mac mining trucks.

You should go there--not too far for you! Train leaves from Winnipeg. High season for bears and baluga is right around Halloween.

Bear watching on the Tundra Buggy is something I want to do

LordKAT · January 06, 2014, 08:44:53 AM

Long as it has enough heat I guess.

Mickie · January 06, 2014, 11:00:43 AM

Just get a unimog. Or a tgb111 . That aught to do similarly

LordKAT · January 10, 2014, 01:40:59 AM

LordKAT · January 10, 2014, 02:25:45 AM

Or is it mall cop madness.

MadeleineG · January 10, 2014, 08:16:33 AM

This one's dead serious...
