It was 125 years today!!!!

"...It was on 29 January 1886 that Carl Benz filed an application in Berlin for a patent on his three-wheeled motor car. This date has since been considered the official birthday of the motor car. At the same time as Benz, Gottlieb Daimler was developing the first four-wheeled motor car...."

Amazing how far we have come

It will never work you know.

Its slower then a horse, you can only refill it at a few chemists, its unreliable, its too expensive.

It will never catch on
