quote from one of the forum members
"I actually know a bit about these. They were launched in February 1976, originally for the Czechoslovakian home market. Known as the KH2 Czechmobil, it was full of advanced features for it's time. Like what appears to be an ignition key on a wrist strap, is actually the fore runner of the Pillion-Pal. Note how when the dolly wheels are trailed, they instantly become earthing strips to dissipate any static build up and when fully locked into position, lifting the rear wheels off the ground allowing it to be rail ridden cutting journey time between villiages by a third. Alas, only a handful ever made the UK as they were not compatable with the then British Rail network. An exciting water version was created, known as the KH4 Czechski, but regretably was withdrawn a month later due to the K&N's sucking in water. Makes you wonder if there are any still around. You just don't know what's hidden in them barns do you? What makes me wonder, is why I write total b****x and post it when I've been hitting the old JD. Sorry"
