    I have seen that also and find it quite curious. Some call it cellular consciousness or something like that.

    In my wildest dreams I cannot imagine what it must be like to drive that car. Wow!!

    Nice drawing. I've been collecting car art, off the net, for a number of years. Here is one of my favorite artist/photography stars. Stefan Marjoram art.jpg

    Stefan is my favorite artist. He gives lots of motion to his art.

    What engine is that? It looks like a Honda CX500 or 650. Those are popular with JZR 3 wheel kit cars from the UK. I built one of those with a MotoGuzzi 1000 engine.

    Yes, Honda CX. Don't know the size.

    You are correct sir, CX500.

    CX500: you'd know those weird-angled heads anywhere.

    The valve covers look like the CX650 in my JZR.

    I would think that would be totally impractical. Too much weight cantilevered in front takes weight off the rear wheel. I'm guessing it is a made up photo.

    anyways....the motor is just set in front of the mounted engine,not bolted in at all...I think there are other images where you can see the block on the floor supporting the engine. Do they have April Fools day in England?

    I should have read the comments too, before I passed it on. It does look like maybe it's could be a mock up, the exhaust fits together pretty well. Do look at the Facebook page, this isn't the oddest thing there. Mike
