my non-Porsche picture of the day

After building the model of a '50s tethered race car, had a request for another.

Bought a more modern glow plug engine and silencer to get more of a comic look to this one.

Going to be a Xmas pressie for a special couple in the family.

Wow, those are amazing Graham. Working engines?

The engines might fire...
The first one is from the lathe 1940's so not to sure, but the second one is a 70's Irvin glow, a huge capacity and would definitely run at quite a rate.

Both cars all Show and no Go.

Just a bit of garage tinkering fun, don't take too long to make, about 2 days using mostly bits in the garage left over from doing the Lola.

I've really enjoyed making them both have to admit, thinking of making a silly motorcycle as a 'third'.

I get very bored over these winter months.

Thank you both for the kind remarks.

Malton rally this last weekend … perfect timing for the photo

Late '60's, early '70's I had a part time job as a pump attendant to supplement my normal employment.
Pay was 25p an hour and I worked 2 or 3 evenings plus Saturdays.
Met the lady who became my wife at the pumps....

Oh Matron!!

I'm sure that was 'tongue in cheek' but if not, it's George Harrison ...

In 1969 I was on my first Lambretta, fresh out of 5th year and into a formal 5 year apprenticeship.

3 gallons was about the rate for £1 if you include the Redex 2 stroke shot added to the tank before filling up with about a gallon.

I was paid £5 a week, £2 to my parents for Board and lodgings and the rest for me..

IIRC the roads were that quiet too.
