    For all the wannabe Spitfire pilots....

    Whilst looking for something else I came across this mad yet interesting creation (apologies if posted in wrong section, but I thought this was the most relevant):



    Another pic of the beast:

    And with it's creator:

    And one (yes one!!) of his Ferrari Dino 246 powered creations:

    Yeah, I know it looks like that but I think it maybe just a delay in the sound track (could be wrong though..... )

    There's some vids of that bike on YouTube too, sadly with no decent soundtrack though, least not that i could find. The guy that built that has built a number of 'specials' such as the Kawasaki V8 mentioned below and a 1000cc four cylinder version of an H2 Kawasaki 2 stroke...

    Yes, there's a few different versions of those floating around - I think the original was 'The Beast' that John Dodd built in the UK, and that ended up with about 2 or 3 different bodies. There's also a really nice '55 Chev in Aussie that has Merlin V12 power..... nice to see there's still plenty of crazy engineers out there!
