Any chance of a (much) higher resolution image for such desktop wallpapering?
Is that Voisin a period coachwork? It looks so terribly steampunk.
Love the sketches. A nucklehead mini-T sounds like my kind of fun. But it makes me wonder what's the cost-effective DIY method of making...
This one just showed up on my VW club forum. Doesn't look like a Messerschmidt, but I could be mistaken. [IMG]
I was about to say 'maintenance nightmare' on the engine compartment of that BMW, but it looks like the whole drivetrain drops out the bottom...
Street Legal Streamliner thread? Where is this thread? EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. Feel silly now for failing the first three searches, the...
They look like a standard artillery wheel to me. But I'm far from an expert.
It's not so much change being good or bad, but rather when all else is equal you will find that older is better. I personally believe that no...
Just not good cars is all. And then they all got REALLY bad right around 1993.
Not Audi, Dampf-Kraft-Wagen. Although some confusion on the point is understandable. In 1932, Audi merged with Horch, DKW, and Wanderer to form...
A fantastic little book, sadly they can not ship directly to the US so we americans do need friends to get us our copies. I just wish those...
That's the second time recently I've wanted to go to Nashville for something. I wonder how I'm going to pull it off.
Yes, and an early kit too. Or at the very least a set of 'wide-5' hubs up front, which were in production from WWII until 1967. I'm currently...
My understanding with center-pivot steering is that the preferred method of taking a corner at speed is to pitch the car in, slide the back end...
When do we start?
I'm definitely designing under the chain principle on my project, for the reasons that ebtm3 names above. Great sig, by the way, I really want to...
I was thinking more of an old 500cc motorcycle engine up front, the driver sits far enough back to allow for that and fuel tank and such. Just...
The new Morgan 3-wheeler with Hammond's pick for a trackday fun car on tonight's Top Gear. Under 500 kilos with an air-cooled V-twin out the...
They're spindle springs. The front end is mounted on solid beams with springs above and below the axle, around the spindle. The steering arm...
That is one very pretty machine. The lines flow together in exactly the way that modern car designs fail to.
The front and rear wheels steer in opposite directions.
You wouldn't have that much trouble with wind-up on acceleration and braking because of that pear-shaped 'spring spoke'. One of those springs is...
It was developed by the Ackerman Airplane Company for use as landing gear. And yes, the wheel is a sprung mechanism. But it would allow one to...
I came across one of these at the aircraft museum and immediately thought of using something like it on a cyclecar.[IMG] Does anyone else get evil...
[IMG] Wouldn't that be a carcycle rather than a cyclecar? :p
All the discussion of 'cyclecar v. big car' got me looking through the photos both here and in the History Of Auto Racing 1894-1944 thread and I...
I do like the looks of that Delahaye. Built for speed and nothing else. Thanks for the pics, keep them coming! I agree, Gofannon, the Soriano is...
A passive tilting bedelia.... I can see how it would be done with control rods coming off the center-pivot steering to work the bell cranks. The...
I envy some of you folks in other states, with your 3-wheelers and such. The trouble with using a fourwheeler motor is that many localities...
The Yamaha XV engine is just the sort of thing that I think would fit wonderfully in a modern cyclecar. I have a water-cooled variant (from a...
Separate names with a comma.
