[Greg Myers]

No, that ain't him.

[cobraman]

No speed bumps on that first one !

[Danno]

Would that be a rotorcycle?

[LDO]

That turbine bike looks like one going together in Sweden for land speed racing. I'll check later tonight.

The first one just looks silly.

I kinda like that last one. Neat take on the "overchopped" rods

[Joe Handley]

Strangley, I'm kinda not surprised that last one was built. I've been kinda,waiting to see somebody actually do that!

Kind of a shame if it was a good steel A Tudor sedan though. A little respect for the rarity of original bodies is kinda nice, sometimes.

I wouldn't mind even a radical chop and a clean traditional build, but to just destroy the thing... Oh well. Not my dog.

'Course, it might have been a bunch of rusty junk that was too far gone to do anything nice with. In that case, I like it.

Maybe should have gone into the "Whatisit" bucket.

I watched that silly episode of RoadKill with the multiple leaf-blower "supercharged" thing. Made a little more power on the chassis dyno, but no faster trap speed. Hmmm...probably woulda done better just using one of the leaf-blower impeller housings bolted to the engine, and a v-belt / pulley to spin the fan. Oh well...still not my dog.

The Jag V12 lump seems to be a popular power unit these days...

Even one stuffed into a poor little Miata...

And here's a rod with a Maserati Quattroporte V8 DOHC unit...me like. A lot.

Quattro has that greasy old Hot Rod Vibe. I like it too.

I just want to know how you're supposed to drive it?!

[DynoMight]

This is actually pretty cool though

[Ace-Garageguy]

...This is actually pretty cool though

I would have to think it's a real blast to drive, and probably VERY hard to beat on any kind of twisty bits.
