Subject: Name this toy!!!
I believe it was called "Whiz Wheel", but I can't find any info on it and its driving me insane! You sat between two huge wheels and on the inside of the wheels were cranks that let you turn the wheels indenpendant of each other. Naturally one could go forwards and backwards...but the highlight was the ability to turn corners on a dime and to spin in one place like mad!!! What is it?! And even better does anyone have any info as far as who manufactured it?

I seem to remember that. I looked up Whiz Wheel and found a couple of posts about it but none said who made it, sorry
