Fox body Mustang.

Thought this read was interesting about the new Bugatti Chiron...

Could the Unlimited Top Speed Hit 300 Mph?


"Bugatti says it won't attempt a true top speed run until 2018. Wallace implied the Chiron reaches its limited speed of 261 mph with relative ease. So, could there be another 39-mph left? He says that speed is unlikely because the forces at that level are devastating.

Even at 261 mph the wheel and tire has to withstand extreme forces. The valve cap on each wheel weighs 2.5 grams, but it equates to 16 pounds at 261 mph. As the speed moves even higher, the loads increase exponentially.

Wallace says at the moment, there is no tire that can withstand the g-loading at 300 mph, but he predicts Michelin engineers will sign off on a top speed with the current production tire slightly north of 280 mph. Perhaps a future version of this car will be engineered to hit that magic 300 mph milestone."

Anyone here own one?...They come in at a cool $3,000,000...Don't know if that's US dollars, but it doesn't really matter...

Looks like an early 60's Mini but ...

They had chrome front grills and the Morris badge looks wrong and it's not a Leyland badge.

Warm or Cold?

Warm, cold and cold :-)

the mini vans and pick ups had painted grilles, but the badge is circular and that equates to the cooper models.

thai reg. so probably not original badging.

i'll go for an early mini van or pick up.

^ OK I really only put it there to test my photoshop as one poster on TD doesn't seem to be able to post from Photoshop.

But seeing as it is in some ways too easy, I will have to be a stickler before I award the virtual cigar.

My second car bought from an uncle.

Singer Gazelle?

Yes, series III, 1600cc apparently. It's all in the url.

Must remember to change that in future makes it to easy.

Done it, now my first car. Pretty beat up when I got it but I bashed out the worst of the dents with a hammer and piece of wood then slopped on a coat of grey primer with a big paintbrush. Served me well and got me my only speeding ticket, to date, told the cop it couldnt go that fast but there was no arguing with him.

Hillman Minx?

An old Austin or Morris I'd say.

I wanted to say Morris Eight, the wheel rims are correct but not sure about the rest of the car. I think it is British from the late 40s.

Mini Moke??

Sort off. It is from memory a 1964-ish Morris 850 van. The badge being a later version of a Morris badge, without the "wings".

I did look it all up before posting but have now forgotten as no one seemed interested. Agreed a bit of rivet counting but...

its not a mini moke, they have a completely different front end.

Saw this the other day on the way home.
