By the way, what is the BMW motor there for now, disguise? I couldn't quite make out, does the motor drive the rear bike wheel plus the sidecar wheel? Anyone?

I'd say it was self evident, he didn't want a car. Have you no soul, Steve? The bloke builds a thing of absolutely outstanding style, class and weirdness, and you carp about it. It might not be to your taste, or mine, but I have to admit that if he rolled that thing up to my place and offered me a drive of it up and down the Old Road, I'd have a go at it, and probably enjoy it. regards, CrazyCam >> Stay informed about: For the sidecar owner wanting more power

If I am not mistaken you'll find there's a short driveshaft to each wheel off the transaxle gearbox - which therefore doesn't need to be at 90 degrees to the tranny.
