Why not list the Fagioli? I we can list golf carts, this one should be listed too, an impressive vehicle (is was on tv this evening in Holland) |

I only omitted to list the Fagioli because it has no driver on board so is it really a vehicle or just a giant pallet-truck? Anyway they are a fascinating piece of equipment and if there is good reason to add it I'm only too pleased to. |

I agree that if the driver is not on the vehicle itself it does not count as "vehicle". |
