Very Bad French Idea

[C5 Golfer]

Found this in Hemmings Motor. This is the caption below the photo in the magazine. Anyone know french and can tell us what the picture is saying?

"Alright, all you people who actually remember their high-school French, we’re looking for an explanation of this little tidbit from the VAQ’s magazine. The principle is simple enough: Sharpened steel blades underfoot; exposed chain drive beneath the groin; whirling circular saw of death thing at a thorax-opening position in front; remote control.

But did someone actually build and use one of these things? And if so, can we replace the blades with wheels and the whirling circular saw of death thing with, say, a rubber wheel or a track? If we had to guess, we’d say that “gazoline” suggests IC power, but that sure looks like a battery in the front one; maybe the fairing on the other’s hiding a little two-stroke? "
