Daimler 1886 Ride
« on: January 31, 2021, 12:35:46 »
We have this big charity activity in Poland, every year for 30 years now. My family actively participates as voluntary collectors, we also donate quite a lot. It is called WOSP.

https://www.wosp.org.pl/

This year my wife spotted an auction: a ride in Daimler 1886 replica. It will take place April-May. We obviously paid some ridiculous money for it, but this is for hospital equipment for children. I am anxious to see how it felt to move around in a car like this.

 ;D ;D I would call it a "horseless carriage" rather than a "car"...

I can settle for "horseless car".  :) :)

By the way, the Benz's Patentwagen, that is regarded as the first car ever built and used, did not even have four wheels...

Who needs four wheels? Not even horse-powered cabriolets. ;)
