Bloody Mary

I knew there was a spello there, but I couldn't put my finger on it. It was only hours later I had a forehead-slapping moment!

 

Always good to know your 25.4 times table off by heart, though. In my experience with the decimal system, you have to be a lot more careful to avoid decimal errors. There's a lot more counting of zeroes going on, and more subsequent head-scratching.

 

Absolutely!

 

Here's a link to some great karts and a little history about ****** Mary.

There was a time when "drifting" was actually about getting around the corners fast, rather than flamboyantly, though I suppose I should note that the guys who race at the dirt tracks still do it that way ... because it works.

 

lol!

 

There's a cool little book called 'Motoring Specials,' that covers lots of the 'built with what was rusting behind the chicken coop' cars including ****** Mary, Chitty-Bang-Bang, and a great image of a 27 liter special, next to a 250cc special. The rat rod guys aren't that original.

It's ISBN is 0747801185 and Amazon has them from private sellers, used starting at thirty-six cents + shipping. It is 5X9 and 32 pages, so don't expect too much - but for $5 the pics are worth it.

Oh yeah, you gotta love what is rusting behind the chicken coop in the UK

 

Cool car and a good read this month. And a great magazine, always has lots of good vintage tin to look at and drool over.

What is this a picture (the one in the thread below) of though? Interesting motor for sure.

I know this is an old thread, but man... This thing is seriously worthy of a bump.

****** Mary anyone?

 

Sooo ****** cool...sorry. In the video, wouldn't you just know "the most interesting man in the world" would be piloting it?!

 

Time to bring the thread back to life with a bump... seriously cool car.
