Man, stranded in the desert, makes a motorcycle from his broken car
From Hackaday
While traveling through the desert somewhere in north west Africa in his Citroen 2CV , good old Emile is stopped, and told not to go any further due to some military conflicts in the area. Not wanting to actually listen to this advice, he decides to loop around, through the desert, to circumvent this roadblock.
After a while of treading off the beaten path, Emile manages to snap a swing arm on his vehicle, leaving him stranded.
He decided that the best course of action was to disassemble his vehicle and construct a motorcycle from the parts. This feat would be impressive on its own, but remember, he’s still in the desert and un-prepared. If we’re reading this correctly, he managed to drill holes by bending metal and sawing at it, then un-bending it to be flat again.
It takes him twelve days to construct this thing. There are more pictures on the site, you simply have to go look at it.
Now thats a survivor….
I think i have to add this one to my Man-Card
