Remember the thread with the video of "The Beast of Turin" firing up for the first time?

The Beast is now on the road and terrifying wildlife:

104 years old, 28.3 Liter (1,727 Cubic Inches) 4 cylinder that developes 290 HP and does 180 MPH...WOW :shocked:

Good Lord, That thing does belch and snort!!!

 

[mingaa]

Good Lord, That thing does belch and snort!!!

Running a bit rich, you think?!?
Perhaps it doubles as a mosquito fogger!?!

 

[Rossi]

It made me think of that line in Commander Cody's, "Hot Rod Lincoln" :

"We had flames comin' out of the side...."

Man, that thing's like three times taller than it is wide. Cool old car, though.

 

[garyh]

Thanks for the show.

 

[RScottie]

No seatbelts? 180 mph? It would never pass US import standards, lol.

Cool car though!

 

[JPM44]

Brit bug out mobile!

Try sneaking your girlfriend home after curfew with that one.

Good gravy...........I'd like to see the size of the pistons in that thing.
They'd be as big as your head.

28 Liters over four cylinders = 7 liters per cylinder. IOW, each cylinder displaces as much as all the cylinders of a 427 cid V8!

(For the pedants out there, I'm rounding down )
