the MECHANICAL INSANITY thread...

HERE post up videos of the most OUTRAGEOUS vehicles you can find videos of, with loving attention to the concept:

"POWER to WEIGHT Ratio"

Beginning with the lightest machines of all: GAS ENGINE SCOOTERS


Item of interest #2, a rotary engined VW Bug runs in the eight second bracket:


ITEM of INTEREST #3 - quite possibly the most IGNORED automobile on earth, but MEAT in the hands of a craftsman...


Where is FORD in all of this you ask? How about a 1948 English Ford Thames....
(my all time favorite!)


I hope I have given you food for your madness! Enjoy...


~Wolfie



Here lastly I give you THIS vision, and a warning:
INSANITY must find an outlet, if you have it and do nothing it will consume you...




CIAO for now...
