    Default Bates Car: As sweet as a nut

    This film was made in 1974 in Canada about Bates and his car that runs on methane.
    Short but sweet!

    thanks breal. :-)
    Excellent little video.

    I wonder what happened to Mr Bate ?
    That was 41 years ago.
    I presume he's no longer with us.
    A nice man.

    I wonder what happened to his bicycle.

    Thanks again breal.

    be happy :-)

    The assumption is, he was bought out or scared off by corporations that didn't want their profits tampered with, as these two inventions alone would do just that!!
