Pedal-Powered Cramper Van Shows Us Green Possibilities Somebody Should Capitalize On
Andy Saunders has made some very interesting cars over the years. Not only does he make driveable art cars of all kinds (including a three-wheeled boat), but he’s also a three-time and current record holder for the shortest cars ever built.
