Well.....not exactly. Thought I'd share my photo cart with you good folks. I converted a 3 wheeled golf cart I picked up on Ebay (cheap). I removed all the golf bag "crap" and added some things of my own to customize this bad boy for my own personal gear.

I added some of that rubber coated wire shelving material and a shelve I picked up at Lowes. I also added a folding bike rack hanger. Like the "v" shaped arm thingy you mount on a wall to hang a bicycle. This is at the bottom of the cart and helps hold a cooler. The top shelf is a perfect fit for my camera bag. I took some metal strap brackets original used for the golf bag attachment and installed some quick clap nylon straps to hold the camera bag in place. This works well to keep the bag secure and from falling out while running from alligators, bears and angry eagles. ;) The straps were permanently attached...thanks to dear Mom....who sewed them on. :D

This whole McGiver contraption disassembles and folds up for easier storage and transport. It has some nice blow up knobby tires for off-road adventures. unfortunately they have intertubes...so I need to take a small hand pump and patch kit with me. Nothing like a flat in the middle of chasing chicks. :eek::cool:

Anywho....here "she" is.

You don't know how many times I have wished for a "buggy" like this to lug stuff around.
