Henri Kovar sends us these pictures of carnival bumper cars mounted on a serious chassis sporting Honda or Kawasaki MC motors. Tom Wright, a gyro-gear loose builder on the outskirts of San Diego who figured the leftovers of the Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap made these whacky creations.  All are street legal as indicated by the license tag. I definitely want one!

Download the Ft Conde screen saver .  They call it a "screen saver" because you can savor those beautiful bikes all year long. Save the file (11Mb) to the desk top and then double click it.  Double click the Fort Conde.exe file and it will self-install in the "windows" directory.  Fort Conde will then be in your list of screen savers. No viruses I promise because I wrote it myself. Jim Downey

The results and pictures from the Fort Condé show are now posted.  Click here
