A little extra horsepower

I thought I'd try the easy way to add a little extra horsepower. Not everyone can add that kind of power to their mini.


Here's another shot.

no arguement here

one horsepower added, no doubt.

however, has it been more than absorbed by the weight increase?

I think you need to give me your truck, as I can increase the horsepower by 2 ~ altho your mini horse power is a tad bit younger than my mini horsepower

It can't be as bad as adding a passenger. Besides when everyone slows down to look I can speed away.

You know I'd love to give you the truck ( ) BUT I can match your 2 horsepower with 7. The young one is about a month old while the white one is 11 years.

Hmmm, I can up the horse power to 9, but only 2 are minis... now if we want to go mini pig power, I can up it to 14! I can also add 2 goats and 31 chickens... The latter don't do much for the mini horse power, but they do provide gas


Seriously, do you show your minis? I rescued mine, and got them driving. Man, they're a hoot! Full of attitude and so loving too...

The horses aren't mine but they belong to some friends of ours. They do show them but I'm not sure which ones.
When you say you got them driving do you mean something bigger than the golf cart? I know what you mean about attitude I originally wanted to put two horses in the back but after finding out how feisty the little one was I was glad it was just him. I didn't want him to get hurt so he was carried into the truck because he's not used to being led around yet.

I was thinking more along the lines of a cab over camper but like buying too small of a tent my legs would still stick out the door.

I drive a 2 seat easy entry cart, which is set up for single drive, and a small buckboard wagon, which is set up for pairs (team) driving. Some of my big horses drive as well, for them I have a large cart and a wagon. http://prorev.com/509horse.jpg

Sorry I didn't understand your terminology when you asked about the horses driving until you explained. I was talking about the picture in your gallery with one of the horses trying to get into the golf cart.

I was thinking about becoming a chipmunk rancher with my P'up. Anyone have a chipmunk/horsepower app on their Iphone? I'd like to know what 50 chipmunks add up to...

Nice pix, gasmini!

Thanks dimini, and I was thinking hamsters were easier to train.
