Bugatti mag in dash to allow inflight timing adjustment (fur realz). If you're sleepy, just touch one of the fabric insulated high tension wires at speed.

That thing looks like a desperate cry for attention, that leaks oil.

I went a few years ago to an Antique Boat Show at Lake George, NY with my friend Art.  Looking at a Gar Wood triple cockpit boat, beautiful; an older man "You fellas want to go for a ride?"  Sir, we're not shopping, no way I can buy this boat.  "Bay, get in".  You bet.  Zipping across the lake, the large Minehaha crossed out bow and I braced for the wake, nothing!  Just cut though that like it wasn't there.

I can't afford this, but the little 16 ft. Speedster ......

Thanks.  I was thinking Hertz, are the hood shipped separately?  I just assumed everything was on when it left the factory.

I figured that Shelby sourced the hoods and were responsible for that in the final assembly at the Shelby American plant.

Where's the throttle?

And how many shins and knees have died on that box.

Edit: Oh, I think l've spied it.

And the pilot sits sideways?
