The better question is "how does the driver get in?" It's probably through the roof above the driver seat or something, but I really want there to be a little tunnel underneath the steering wheel he can scooch through from the passenger compartment.

I have two questions. How high could you get the front wheels off the ground, and could you have a load of screaming prom kids in there while you do it?

For those who don't know muscle cars all that well, 1969 AMC Hurst S/C Rambler. One of 1512 made, a factory built drag car. Too bad it doesn't have the running gear, but that makes it a perfect swap candidate.

I just hope it's the real thing and not just a tribute (but even as a tribute it's cool as hell). I'm going back tomorrow or tuesday to talk to the guy that owns the shop it was next to. It was behind a fence so I couldn't get any closer, if he lets me in I'll take more pictures.

Follow-up to the scrambler. It was real, belongs to a guy paying the shop to restore it. Still not sure where the engine went, I hope that they had pulled it to work on it. I noticed the transmission was still under the car. I couldn't get in to take any better pictures though, but still, what a cool find.

Went for a run in a new area today and discovered this behind a fence:



That's a Velorex, a Czech 3 wheeler from the 40s. The single rear wheel is driven and it has a leather bonnet and grille for weight and cost savings. It must be absolutely terrifying to drive one of these in traffic.

Oh, heck yeah! That’s drag racing when I was a kid. Well, a couple years before, maybe, but what I grew up with in dad’s Hot Rod and etc. mags.

Music’s not terrible, either.

Pretty sure that type of Russian tractor has a door in the rear of the cab. Maybe.

Nissan did, sort of, when the 350Z came out, in Prague, I believe it was. They called it “The Run” as I recall. I actually have a DVD of it at home (had to go into work - some asshat dumped a drink on their laptop.)

Found it on the tubes, of course:
