Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

Went looking for the Lazer FX website for the thread on old pages. It's down now

Do they not have hills in the UK? flat land I could see that being alright, but I suspect the race car would pass the tow vehicle going down hill. 

Yes, hills, lots of them in certain areas, especially where I grew up. Why do you think Top Gear has spend 20 years bashing 'Caravans' (Travel trailers over here)  It's because people tow big things with little cars.  Here's another.  For the uninitiated this is a Sunbeam Stiletto which was the fast back sporty version of the Hillman Imp.  I had severl of these, and Imps.  The big change was the massive increase from 39hp to 50hp with a differnt cam, different head casting and twin Stromburg carbs  in place of a single Solex.  Imagine an 82" wheelbase and 50hp pulling even a light teardrop.

I want a Stiletto or an Imp in the worst way.  They look awesome.

Took her out for a short spin today before going back under the wrench to address the oil leak.  Brutal car.

I like the wheels.

One of the local wrecker companies does this for the Christmas parade every year. 

I decided that I really need to build a Hummelbird.

I like it.

But sits kinda high up front for a Monster, doesn't it?

This page is full of awesome. That's a life I feel pleasantly envious of: Stop for a pub lunch while taking the 962 somewhere behind the Blower Bentley...

Also, I didn't know about Stilettos, but have always wanted an Imp. I have a bonus search term now.

I’m supposed to think outside the box to improve on time performance on my routes. Adding big Brembo stickers seems like a good start.

Good to see you're not claustrophobic!

My family would just be a pic of a pile of non-running motorcycles.

A comedian did a bit about food companies "experimenting" with middle America.  This is just a gross idea.
