    I think it is ridiculous ... why not several smaller ones? It wouldn't manage the narrow curbless roads here either!

      However would it get round corners? Obviously it wasn't built for travelling in our UK towns and cities! :roflol:

      Casa do Penedo is located between Celorico de Basto and Fafe, more specifically in the parish of Moreira do Rei, municipality of Fafe, in the North of Portugal, owing its name to the fact that it was built between four large rocks that are part of the structure of the house itself.

                      Once-In-A-Lifetime photo captures a caiman wearing a crown of butterflies in the Amazon.
                      As photographer Mark Cowan traveled down the Amazon, he noticed a lounging caiman with a vibrant crown of butterflies.

                            I wonder if the wildlife uses it or do they cross the road anyway ...
