Title: Enough to get even Lord Opti's heart rate up
Post by: Viral_Jim on 01 April 2025, 15:02:00
Seeing as it's felt a bit quiet on here lately I thought I'd share this absurd thing that appeared on my face ache timeline.

They are a tight fit at the best of times.

I'm 6' 1" and about 14.5 stone. Not sure how many KG that is.

As Mick says, it's a proper beast running 8.5secs for the quarter. Almost enough poke to rip your face off. >:D

Went for a test run with my friend in his wife's 58 Fiat 500, felt sick after the 5th roundabout. It has a mid mounted Alfa flat 4 and trick suspension and drives like a go cart!!!

Seen a Dutton Phaeton with a 350 Chevy NOS lump in it, 2 speed box and wheelie bars on, 100 in ist and an estimated 200 in 2nd But no one had the balls to find out.  Lifted the wheels off the ground with out NOS, popped wheels off the move, and that was in the 90's
