God, I want one.

Reminds me of Scrapheap challenge when they built a trebuchet to launch a mini.

The rich fella seems to be an utter nutter though.

I kinda like the fact he wants to build one big enough to fling a double decker bus.


That sounds like fun.

No one should be allowed to have so much fun.

Screw garage sales, this a much better way to deal with junk you don\'t want anymore.

Not about trebuchets but I\'ve just watched the gadget show and they previewed what they\'re testing next week, those little one-person tanks.

You guy are so.........male!


Actually, I wouldn\'t mind flinging an old car I have that Mr C and I are currently fighting about. I\'d love to see it shatter in a million pieces and then blow up in a spectacular fire ball. :twisted:

This man is a hero. When he dies, someone should found a museum in his honor.

Man would I love to spend an afternoon throwing crap in a field with this guy. (now there\'s something I never thought I\'d say). lol

Kind of obscure there................how do you REALLY feel??


Once made a little trebuchet out of toothpicks and it would hurl a pebble 4-5 feet.

So the big question is, would you enjoy the flinging more if \'Mr. C\' was in the car at the time? :drunk:

lol Nah. Mr C is an ok guy. I just don\'t like the car, it doesn\'t work, it\'s in my name and I want to sell it for parts. Lets just say dividing up our stuff is not going well.
