The Heart of Gold
Trolley Number 42 - TATLTUAEThe Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything
Louis Rowell Williams at the wheel - 2008
Louis' trolley was inspired by Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the
five-part trilogy
featuring the Heart of Gold, which was a "brand new state of the art spaceship, stolen at its unveiling on the planet Damogran by Galactic President
Zaphod Beeblebrox"
At its core, it was equipped by the Infinite Improbability Drive, made of solid gold - hence the name
The Heart Of Gold was 150m long (a rather impractical aspect to emulate), perfectly white (again, not the easisest feature to reproduce... especially if 'white' equates to 'reflecting all light') , and shaped like a sleek running shoe (something relatively more feasible in a trolley)
Thanks to Sam, Graham, Gordon and Tim for help with the running gear
2009 Derby
Although the 2009 deby was a bit of a wash-out (weather wise), that didn't stop Team Heart of Gold
- Louis
- Won the Nippers section of the inaugural Kids' Design Challenge, with his ' Yellow and Blue Submarine (798kB)'
- Dan
- Had a couple of rather fast grudge races in the persistent rain
- Andy
- Had a momentary lapse of reason that resulted in a rather stoopid crash and some equally dumb injuries
