wlaidlaw Posted December 21, 2017 Share #10541  Posted December 21, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration)  That's a South Eastern and Chatham Railway P Class 0-6-0.  I lived in East Grinstead for many years and I never got round to riding that train for some reason.   You have won the oily anorak and sellotape mended spectacles award. It was not as old as I thought. It was made in 1910 but it looks very 19th century. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was made in 1910 but it looks very 19th century.  I will confess to a certain interest in British railways and rolling stock, although I have never hung out on the end of a platform with a notebook! I know a little about the Bluebell Railway as I had a friend who volunteered there a few years ago and likely still does. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted December 22, 2017 Share #10543  Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Right here is your next one. I want to know: Who is driving it, what engine does it have and to the nearest second, what 1/4 mile time did it achieve.  With many thanks to the wonderful children's book illustrator Dave James for one of his great pictures.  Happy Christmas to all  Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

mikemgb Posted December 22, 2017 Share #10544 Â Posted December 22, 2017 Pontiac V8 engine? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z. Goriup Posted December 22, 2017 Share #10545 Â Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) I think it's a Buick 'Nailhead' V-8, with its unique vertical valve covers, produced from about the mid-'50s to the mid '60s. The look on Rudolph's face says it all..............! Â Thank You Wilson, and a Merry Christmas and best Regards to all, Â JZG Edited December 22, 2017 by John Z.

wlaidlaw Posted December 22, 2017 Share #10546  Posted December 22, 2017 The Buick Nailhead was also my thought or an Offenhauser/Arden overhead valve conversion of a flat head Ford. I think the blower is a GMC 6-71 and that's certainly a Hurst Shifter  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemgb Posted December 23, 2017 Share #10547 Â Posted December 23, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hmm. Â I guessed Pontiac since this illustration was used by the Pontiac US Nationals as a Christmas card in 2015. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted December 23, 2017 Share #10548 Â Posted December 23, 2017 Besides, once they stopped making Pontiacs Santa could pick up parts at a discount, at least for a few more years. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkCambridgeshire Posted December 27, 2017 Share #10553  Posted December 27, 2017 Regrettably in my sick bed since Christmas eve with flu and bronchitis, so would prefer if someone else has something to post.  Wilson   Sorry to hear you have the lurgy Wilson; I've just about recovered from same but was very uncomfortable with unprecedented symptoms. Freshly pulverised whole lemon with African honey plus a proprietary flu remedy was very soothing but the bug had to take its course. Hope you recover asap.  dunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted December 27, 2017 Share #10554  Posted December 27, 2017 Luckily my son-in-law brought me a large bottle of some exotic bourbon, which goes very nicely with lemon juice and cane syrup (courtesy of sister-in-law from Barbados) and then nuked in the microwave - a sort of hot whiskey sour. Doesn't make the flu any better but more bearable.  Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
