Giraffe ATV - Mechanism

The Giraffe All Terrain Vehicle was designed on a grey, rainy, boring afternoon to alleviate the tedium by the notorious Vehicle Design Department of Llwyngwril Systems. Surprisingly, it sold in significant numbers to off-world construction companies. Nobody was ever sure why.

 

The vehicle was so impractical that drivers would frequently complain about having to use it. This caused the idiom of, "You're having a giraffe!" to pass into common usage.

 

You can see the vehicle in action (plus the strange, pulsing wallpaper in my hallway) by following this link.

 

This vehicle was inspired by Senator Chinchilla.
