This is what I found

The idea was born when a glib bystander took one look at Cummins' massive QSK78 turbo-diesel engine, and said he'd like to put that under the hood of his Mini Cooper. "We never like to let a challenge go by unanswered," said Cummins spokesman Steve Nendick, "so we got to thinking maybe we could fit the QSK78 into an original Austin Mini. It proved to be a bit tricky to fit under the bonnet but our engineers came up with a more creative solution." Arguably, the QSK78 itself is as wild as the entire idea. According to Cummins, the engine is a 78-liter, turbo-diesel V-18. We can't emphasize the "turbo" prefix enough -- after all, the engine has no less than 12 turbochargers bolted onto it. The forced induction helps the 11-ton engine pump out 3500 horsepower and over 10,300 pound-feet of torque, which is more than sufficient for its usual role: powering a loaded-down mining dump truck. It's certainly a cool piece of sculpture, but we'd give Cummins more credit if it were actually crazy enough to try and get this contraption running. Since we can't see a cooling system or any transmission bolted to the QSK's bellhousing, it's a safe bet the mega-Mini will simply remain a static display. Source: Cummins

BTW Hoops. It is a bit of a give away to your sympathies, but companies like Cummins may have websites that are not US based. US based websites are not always the be-all-and-end-all of everything.

Yes, very true they are a global company. Back in the day when dad and Uncle Frank had trucks the Cummins became the core engine in most of the prime movers. But they weren't shiny red things back then!

Ford Anglia Super 123E

Whats this one ?

The remains of a Ferrari. A Ferrari California, apparently.

Indeed it is.... Guess I shoulda picked a burnt one that has not been in the news recently !!

It was parked under the faculty housing at the Hatyai university.

Fondles is correct. Ford Anglia.

Another angle

In my yoof, owned an Anglia, lowed wide wheels, a big Weber 45,extractors, went like shite until I rejetted the carb looked good tho. (main objective)

Don't take pictures of Anglias in a short skirt with no knickers!

As a yoof as Peter would say my mate's Anglia had stiletto heal rips in the headlining and a hole in the dashboard

Right you are...

Armstrong Siddely

What a wonderfully evocative name.

Brings to mind tweeds, brogues, cricket on the green, Captain Mainwaring and those good old days when most of the world was coloured red in the atlas.

Eat your hearts out Audi, Volkswagen, Toyota and Mazda.

^ The company is also famously associated with the Sapphire turbojet, which was built under licence in the USA...powered the Hawker Hunter, albeit only for a while before the Avon troubles were fixed.

I didn't realise that the sphinx mascot on some of the models had the engines:


Anyway, nice to see a photo of one.....
