I often thought about a mechanically driven disk that would turn the car
around. Like a carnival ride only able to go 180 degrees. A cam lift and 180
rotation then down off the cam. this disk could have many cam followers
riding on a sub terranian rail a gear reduction based on the weight of the
potential vehicals.

I see with 18 acres there is liitle need for such a type of turn-around but
is is a cool idea for some.

Anyone know where I can get some good ideas for a turnaround I am building
for my house on acreage. I'd like it to be kind of formal without looking
silly, so I'd like to see someone else's results. Pictures would be great
but I have yet to find a group on the web that has pictures of driveways
and
turnarounds. One is probably out there, but I have yet to stumble on to
it.

I have already poured cement curbs with a brick pattern and trowel on a
colored grout to make it look like brick. I'm thinking of English box
wood
planted along the brick. I'm also thinking of a fountain/fish (coy) pond
in
the center, but realize it's a fine line between formal and pretentious.
I
have a Victorian house on 18 acres and am thinking of renting it out as a
vacation house, while my wife and I hunker down in something smaller for
retirement.
