Cold no man's land and he's out playing around with his old toy.

Not so cold down in Australia

I had a Manx styled dune buggy in the 60s but we had no dunes, so I called mine a street buggy. Loved that car and have often thought I'd like to have another but good Lord! They've gotten stupid expensive.

They were easy and cheap back in the day. That was the whole idea. But the sky was the limit, too. Especially now, you see some hyper-cool stuff done.

Thinking small here. Very interesting little mill right here

I have been seeing mention of this engine lately. Curiosity says show me numbers in the real world, installed road tests.

That will be coming. This is real and happening. My question is how 4cyl will fuel consumption be to be worth going small? I'm thinking one in an S10 or Toyota would be awesome. I don't care about a turbo. I'd be happy with 250hp n/a in a little truck. my son's V6 Toyota pickup (6spd) has 250hp and is plenty peppy. Pretty good on gas, but the same power out of less fuel would be great

I am terribly skeptical of small engines powering full size vehicles, so far as them holding up for long. Heck, I have never owned a 6 cylinder equipped vehicle. I just like a V8 and 350 ci seems to be about the best all around engine size for power and longevity. ;)

I was thinking in downsized. 4cyl S10s hold up and move along just fine. One of these would be a gas. I'm not a big fan of the new 4cyl turbo fullsize trucks.

'72 Barth customization without ruining the vintage appearance. Nice!

It's great that this family made movies of that. Wasn't so common back then. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I know most of them. I never knew about the ice door. The phone nooks are cool

Always enjoy watching this. Good music, cool cars and pretty good filming/editing.

Thanks, I enjoyed that. I saw another video they did about moonshining not long ago. I thought I recognized the '55, then I was sure when I saw the Barney Fife character and knew it was the same. They do a good job on shorts. Could do a good full-length I imagine

Reading Paul and Dale talk about their boat experiences reminded me to look this video up. Can't say crazy people don't live in Maryland!

That's flood stage, you know

At 5:00 is worth seeing, then get to where they are heading back downstream down into Cumberland. crazy stuff!

Totally nuts, at least he got to beach his. I wasn't so lucky. :waah:

Did you see all that debris in the creek when they were hammering upstream? That guy doesn't baby his stuff. That's for sure.

How about these small blocks?

Those are some engine ideas I haven't heard of. Pretty cool eh.
