    Does that translate to "My hovercraft is full of eels"?

    Couple of those kittens are pretty nice in a pie with deep crust pastry and redwine gravy.

    I've never seen a jaguar in Australia. But I have seen many fine tender kittens and lots of puff pastry at the supermarket.

    Hey, wait a second. I just released my Audi V6 is actually just 3 Harleys. In fact, apparently, every modern engine (with an even number of cylinders) is simply a Harley multiple. No, wait, my Audi is supercharged, fast, smooth and sounds awesome.

    The Harley powered roadster would be great except for the engine. ;) MIA were some bike engine powered racecars. ie the Dwarf Cars and shitload of others with engines built by Seattle dude and whiz George Dean.

    If I was king or queen like Norcal boy, a cool car would be a replica of some of the 1950 single seater Indy cars. To wit: The Bardahl Ferarri of 1954-55.

    Then we got the bike engine powered street legal rigs built from old bumper cars.. Seems to me like there was also a bike engine powered car that is used for one of the "Wall of Death" shows.

    So do ya think one car with a bike engine would be enough to bring SOW out of his pit of abysmal ignorance and into the light. Naa...

    My first experience with one of these was ten or more years ago. The Radical has a "Busa" motor and gave the Porsche set fits as theyallowed it in the SCCA. The car didn't look as slick as some of the pictures in the article.

    When I think of "sow" I think of a female pig and shining a turd or is that a silk purse :loco:

    An overview of George's shop..

    http://georgedeanracing.com/index.html

    Before George became the big gun in race engines. He had two shops in Seattle. When he fixed something or told ya something that was it.. Good guy and scary smart. He runs with Chip Hanauer the former driver of the Miss Budweiser. ...and BTW my buddy Rich of Rich's seats did the cabin of the Miss Bud..

    One more shameless plug.. Sorry, Slick 50 can't buy me love..

    I asked Hanauer once how fast one of those Unlimited Hydroplanes would go if fitted with the right gearing, screw and foils. He told me he didn't want to find out. Truth from a fast guy..

    George has a real dyno not one of those rollers that plot hp and torque (sort of) One day he was testing a turboed 600 Honda engine (an F4 I think) and it was cranking out 120 ponies. He was de-tuning it.

    Still goin for that mini-T roadster with the HD mill.. Maybe if I win the lottery...or start breeding cats for restaurants.

    I've seen a lot of big cylinder engines, including a ships engine that you could stretch out on top of the piston, but it was only a few weeks ago that I finally saw a huge V twin in a motorcycle so well done it looked like a concours restoration not a homemade motorcycle

    The cylinder barrels, heads and valve gear are off a 22 litre 9 cylinder radial engine, the builder made the rest himself a 5 litre V twin
    image.jpg

    He also built a Kawasaki V12 2300 cc motorcycle and lots more
