3 wheel ride bubba suggestions needed
Received my new 18" BMW TT chrome rims/tires today from UPS
......well, 3 of them anyway. I received 2 front wheels that has 285/35/18's and one rear with 295/40/18. UPS lost the other rear somewhere.
I believe there was a car in the 60's-70's that could ride on three wheels....Citroen maybe? How will we do this?
I'm thinking from helium balloons on one corner to wheelbarrow wheel on same corner as an alternative to boom overhang over the opposite corner with counter weight.
UPS is looking for the other.
Any suggestions?
Bubbas all welcome in this thread

use a shop vac, the other way so that it's blowing, mount it on that corner and aim it down. Note - you have to get it reeeeel close to the ground otherwise it wont support the weight. Then throw a generator in the back and you're good to go!

I'm w/ the "Shop Vac" idea. You can reverse the blow to suction when at a stand-still and make great improvements to the environment by cleaning up at intersections. Remember, I'm pullin' for ya'. We're all in this together.
Relocate the battery until you get the fourth wheel.
