What does the gear stick say? 'Quick ...'?

Quick Silver.

There was words lol


Do you know if they have upped the compression at all to make more power off the higher octane?

 

[Rich1988]

OMG that car is so awesome this is the first of penskis cars that I have really got, I really really want it

 

[Munkyman]

That looks ace! I love old landys, especially unique ones like that

 

[DreXeL]

It's just so naughty and wrong and filthy, I absolutely love it.

it looks like a pile of crap, which of course it is. Sorry but this is no hotrod, it is a disgrace. I fully understand how those pre-49 guys hate it.

 

[SoliD]

This is awesome, why is it pre 49 why that year specifically for hot rods?

 

[NickXX]

This is a great car because, had it been kept totally standard it'd be rotting in the ground somewhere, or worse still - sat in a museum.

Everything else about the car from the dash to the rear wings shows a genuine working life.

As far as I know, '49 is just an arbitrary cut-off that the hot rod 'scene' declared. And when I say 'scene', I refer to those guys that penski talks about - the ones with identikit '32 Fords all modified in exactly the same way. Some of which are great cars, owned by decent guys. But more than a few are merely unimaginative gits who have missed the point of hot rodding.

This allows anyone with, say, a very early VW Type 1 (Beetle) or an early Landy to make something that'll really irritate them. Hence, the car in this thread.

I see so basically the people who think they're gods made up this rule. Any other controversial pre 49 cars? Or are these two the main ones?

My old man spotted this on the M5 near Taunton a few days back, doing about Mach 5 in the outside lane (going to RTTS perhaps?) He was most impressed at how quick it was.

Love it, great lil build. My favorite of your finds so far penski. Looks like silencers more or less been taking off, thats gonna sound aggressive with the rover in there. Needs whacking back on SUs tho

 

[The_Dark_Side]

Different, and I kinda like it.
Not something I'd want myself though.

Keep as is and do drive-by past a landie meet

Put an empty caravan on the back and pretend to struggle up a hill, when person behind beeps become one with the horizon

 

[Lummox]

That is so sweet
