Put oil in the engine, put oil in the carbs. For the Jag V12, reoil the distributor advance mechanism every so often. It’s not hard with British engines.

Except that a straight 6 is inherently better balanced than a V. You could doodle an I6 on a garage floor with a sharpie that would be smoother than most V6's.

If you put a 200 in my driveway and told me it was for me, for free, I’d sue for damages and to reclaim removal costs. Unless it was the convertible, then I’d do those things and kick you in the nuts. Nothing personal.

I did this in a 74 Valiant with a slant-6 at 60mph. I’d downshifted to power up a steep hill, and the car topped out at 60 in 2nd gear. It always topped at 60, the hill wasn’t so steep the car couldn’t get past 60. At the crest of the hill I put my hand under the shifter and pushed it up towards D, but inertia from…

Ooo, TWR, they have the good bits. Apparently they don’t do brakes though.

Not hard at all. If they took it the rest of the way apart it would increase assembly time, but it’s just an engine.

That design is so simple it’s ridiculous. It’s also genius. Two crankshafts, double the con-rods, one special arm that’s also a very simple part and some kind of rotational control which could be anything; VCT controller, VTEC type system, servo or hydraulic motor. It’s practically parts bin stuff. I bet you could…

My money is on that it’s legit. They’re just trying to get as much out of the thing as they can. If you try to sell something like this in West Bumblefuck you’re just going to get offers to trade for a used Cavalier.

I’m pretty sure he used enough anti-seize on that hub to coat his driveway. That’ll be fun when it migrates to the drum surface.

MGB says, whaddya mean you want your battery IN the car?

This is also good when there are c-clips, loose ball bearings or snap rings involved.

Words are hard.

Well, they built one that was useless for doing hypercar things, but they did indeed build one, however little of that has to do with what I said. I stand by my point that you need to learn to read.

Quick, call Sovereign, Purveyor of Coupes and tell him he needs reading lessons! “We started with that we thought was a relatively simple approach – using an existing modular Ford V8 engine and supercharging it...” (http://koenigsegg.com/build128-the-koenigsegg-engine/) They go on to say that the Ford engine was…

Lol, I read the title as: “How to be a poseur and empty your wallet at the same time”. Funny how your brain changes things when you just skim over something.

Yes, yes it would be ok. We buy property to do things we want to do on it. He’s well within his rights to park a plain white trailer in his driveway. That means the trailer is his neighbors’ problem, not his, and they’re not within their rights to do anything about it.

Luxury! When I was a boy, we were lucky to get 5 days!

Which leads to interesting ideas like cat burn-0uts and canine reverse donuts. Not to mention powerslides and countersteering.

You can only determing this when they’re in a slide, it’s clear from observation that a dog attempts to regain traction with it’s front legs primarily, and a cat uses it’s rear legs.

I get the feeling that this post is my fault.
