micro07 - What's Driving That Bus? A KING MIDGET!
« on: March 26, 2011, 05:25:12 PM »
Well? What is powering that bus?
Not the big one, the little one.
One EZ point for a Rookie OR an Expert with some free time this weekend.
Note that this is an AUTOPUZZLE, not an ENGINEPUZZLE....

Is it pedal-powered?

no, not pedal-powered.

Here is another hint.  The polka-dots cover what is underneath the "bus" and gives it some scale.
Don't trust the white blob shape to be anything like what it is covering though.

I wish I had the time to look for it but I didn't understand if there is another known vehicle inside like a King Midget or like a Crosley as Oguerrerob suggested.

There is another vehicle inside that is driving/powering the bus.
Is it a King Midget or not?

I have to answer to my own guess? Then yes, it is a King Midget!
