1) I'd drive it everyday (after fixing the mismatched wheels)
2) It's so :3:
3) Actually looks well executed

My friend's Prelude does something similar to the above, it's possible to get them completely out of sync yet still moving up and down so it look like the car is having a fit. Sadly mine have a far too clever system that ensures they both move together at all times meaning no dopey eyed fun. :/

Notice that it actually has a license plate. I'm pretty sure you can register just about anything for road use in the UK. I know for a fact that there are multiple people with road legal tanks for example.

Nice call on the BRM H16.

E:

quote:

For 1966, the engine regulations changed to permit three-litre atmospheric (or 1.5-litre supercharged) engines. BRM refused Peter Berthon and Aubrey Woods's proposal to build a V12, and instead built an ingenious but very complicated engine, designed by Tony Rudd and Geoff Johnson, the H16 (BRM Type 75), which essentially used two flat-eight engines (derived from their 1.5 L V8) one above the other, with the crankshafts geared together.

Me too. Check out the line of cars behind it at 8:40 -- I bet those guys were rightly pissed off.

Like, I'd consider it a good day if I saw that thing out and driving around, but if I had somewhere to be, I would be pretty frustrated by the guys occupying the road with their giant smoky vehicle that struggles to maintain 15mph.

Yep. Steam is hard work. Entertaining, and :black101: MANLY :black101:, but hard work. Everyone should try it given the opportunity, though. I took my dad on a 2-day traction engine driving course for his 65th birthday, and it was awesome.

Yeah, it gets better, too. If something is a) pre-1960, b) not being used commercially, and c) not carrying a load, your licence weight limit does not count.
