    I gotta go the fergie!
    The pure thrill you can get from these things is amazing. Specially when your old man lets you drive it for the first time by yourself at 5 years old coz he thinks it's harmless.

    I loved it but it scared the crap out of him when watching me bring the hand throttle up to 2000 rpm and accidentally side stepping the clutch.
    Who would have thought you pull a decent wheelstand with 25hp?

    Pure big flywheel fun, can't do that in a Lambo.

        what about doing a conversion? tractor engine in the lambo? the torque should help you do good skids and wheelstands. i can just hear the lambo screaming to it's redline of 1500rpm now!

          Engine conversion???? What you need is a fuel conversion!!

          About 20/80 Super/Diesel fuel mix works a treat.... (Only recomended for loner/rentals)

            I've mentioned it before, but we once had a David Brown tractor that someone had inserted a 6 cylinder petrol MK3 ford zephyr engine into. It did 50mph....at which pace it would get the wheels bouncing on the big spring low pressure tyres, and occasionally a harmonic frequency in the bounce would lift the whole thing off the road....But anyway, a 30 year old tractor at 50mph is frightening.....
            Strangely enough, the standard engine in those tractors is basically the same unit fitted to triumph's TR sports cars bloody poms...

            I've seen things you people wouldn't believe, and from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird. Dinosaurs nuzzling their young in pastures where strip-malls should be. Cookies on dowels. All those moments lost in time; gone like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die.

              some 52 inch chrome wheels would really set it off when you're cruising through maccas

                yeah, TR2. was it a car engine in a tractor, or the other way round? Twin Su's on the fergie woulda looked good though...
                Why do people say I'm
                all torque no traction?
