Anybody seen my "New cyclecar" thread?

 

I'm subscribed so I got an e-mail notification, but when I clicked on the link the thread wasn't there.

 

Wow, I didn't even hear the gong.

 

Looks like it was deleted...I'll ask around. It was always a dubious fit here - I liked it and was subscribed and support your endeavor...

 

I read the recent posts yesterday.Did you check with the moderators?

 

I keep searching and it keeps not being there. I've got a note in to the editor. Still no answer.

 

It was deleted by a moderator. You should've gotten an email when it was deleted with a note as to why...

 

No note, no explanation. I feel so used, my life has no meaning. I don't know how I can go on.

 

You must be married.

Nope.

If it was too new, would it fit on Dogfight? (links at bottom of page)

I've got a build going there that is decidedly OT for the HAMB.

 

Link..........what link?

 

Scroll to the very bottom of this page, it's in the black panel there.

 

Messerschmitts all in a row...

 

This is a 1915 Baby Cup Racer, one of a pack of 12-15 Harley Twin powered cars. They toured the USA and Japan all with different grills to represent big cars of the era.

 

This has to be one of the most unique early French racing vehicles ever produced. From what little information we can translate and piece together, it is a 1901 Truffault, powered by a 7 horsepower Buchet engine. It has been reported that the machine finished second in a road race that originated in Turin, Italy and p***ed through Pinerolo, Saluzzo, Cuneo, Racconigi, and finally returned to Turin. We have another photo and much more information all about Buchet engine on The Old Motor.

 

The product of the fertile imagination of a Professor E. J. Christie, this gyroscopic unicycle was supposedly capable of speeds of up to 400 miles per hour, although at the time of an article from the April, 1923 issue of Popular Science, it had yet to be tested. This monster was 14 feet tall, weighed 2,400 pounds and used what appears to us to be a Curtiss OX-5 airplane engine for power. On The Old Motor as aways we have the whole story behind this monster with plenty more of photos and details.

We are trying to find out if E. J. Christie was in anyway related to Walter Christie, they both seemed to "think outside the box" so there may be a connection.

 

Two seperate Amilcar C-6's.The ones of the engine are from ch***is #1152.The roller pictures are of the car Herb shared with us awhile ago and are ch***is # 11014.The work is being done at Thornley Kelahm in England.

This '34 Morgan was at the Cars and Caffeine car show in New Canaan, Ct today.

 

Thanks for the turn on Tom.
I checked it out and already I'm into a thread about tricking Volvo 122's -my first car build in the early 70's. Keeping up with the HAMB, a half dozen other boards, now this, I won't get ANY work done.

Would that be a T23/27 or an eight? Lovely combination either way.

Edit: Do I see eight holes down the side of the bonnet?
