I fucking love it.

I once built a skateboard with an engine, it's construction was mainly sponsored by Meccano. I had a 50cc go kart engine, welded a gear cog onto one of the wheels and linked both with a chain.
A minute into riding it, thinking I was the next James Dyson, the chain came off making it a rolling chainsaw. I jumped off and quickly resigned to the fact that although ambitious, a master fabricator I am not.

I imagine the builder will have a similar moment of clarity when one of his engines decides it no longer wants to be an engine, and would rather be a weighted explosive device capable of much death and many sadness.

But yeah, I'll whack a bid on that.
