Further on running a generator off the PTO, my grandfather had a Series II set up with a generator through a hole in the bed over the rear axle, using just the transmission side of the setup. Stable enough to run a movie projector, which is what he did with it in South Korea.

You'd need a PTO unit for the transfer case and a rear box, like mine's set up with, not to mention a manual throttle (which yours might have already). The only things I know of running off the engine were a couple of aftermarket hydraulic cable winches and the rope capstan they also sold.

That's the PTO one that Rover sold with 'em, general use, but a bunch of different output shafts available on the basic unit (including a winch one and a water pump). Most Rovers came with at least part of a throttle lock and mine has the whole PTO throttle lever setup. Some of the Series Is had a governor on the gas…

My '66 Series IIa.

Best answer: PTO generator, and the vehicle in reply.

I wonder, given that he hit his head, if he realized at that moment just what he'd survived. Were I him, I'd probably start the world's worst case of the shakes about 30 sec after the video ends.

"A complimentary VW mint, Mr. Creosote?"

I'm holding out for the Matchbox Edition Aston Martin.

He's spelling it that way in reference to that, because in his tiny little mind, he can call Mitt Romney stupid and by proxy all Americans; with the added bonus of drawing in people who think it's misspelled. He usually follows up with a link to the HuffPo, as a "There, now look how stupid Mitt is (and by extension…

You seem to think that the hunting and the going 85 mph on the highway are two separate things.

I'll admit to being torn, because I like both small sporty cars and large thirsty ones. Also, it's quite unfortunate that the conditions causing a good market selection tend invariably to be the ones that herald unpleasantness for the consumer himself. It's no small bit of good fortune we have better cars now than the…

I like that the stock photo of the chainsaw guy has a chip-screen on his helmet and hearing protection, yet is using neither.

The extent to which the PT Cruiser has become beiged in that sense says volumes for how difficult it is to create a "timeless" look. It was considered downright daring when it rolled out, but stayed as it was long enough, and didn't carry through on the look enough to be anything more than just a faintly odd looking…

Seriously, dude. Hurricane's coming. Get a jacket. And a cat.

Article says "built as a show truck in the 90s" though, so one might assume either a conscious effort to bring the 70s back, or the unrelated weird time of the 90s. Now, presumably, the owner thinks there will be a buyer out there who wants to bring back one of those two again.

This thing would be the belle of the ball at an Iowa state fair, that's for sure. No idea why it would be a celebrated show car in other venues except as a curiosity.

It's probably most analogous to there being almost nobody who dislikes Sprite/7-Up. The lowest common denominator there being having a flavor, having a dash of carbonation, and being sweet without being too much so. There'll be people who want Coke or Pepsi, Dr Pepper, A&W Root Beer, or any number of other things, but…

3rd gear: I'm disappointed that Saturn was axed before this, ruining any convoluted "Don't SKY for me, Argentina" joke I'd be making. Pfah.

For the right buyer, this is all kinds of NP. However, the circumstances which would require someone to be the right buyer leave me scratching my head a bit.
