You need to take a ‘46 Willys for a spin. 1 channel manual 9" drum brakes.  The term “stand on the brakes” has some real meaning.  I can’t imagine having even less stopping power.  Then again, I have nearly twice the HP of the Franklin in my Go Devil.

I have a similar commute. Only 25 miles along a nice secondary road. Most of the road has a 40-50 mph speed limit. Most of the road has a ‘standard’ speed of about 45.

Now, if they just put this in the new Bronco.....

I’ll bet she told him that she owned the whole earth.

I bet James May will hate it. OR, he’ll love it and complain that it’s named after that ... that place.

I guess as long as you are OK with it. For me, I want exactly what I want.
