wlaidlaw Posted August 25, 2014 Share #6741 Posted August 25, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey! watch it! Some of my best friends are pickup trucks :D My son-in-law’s pick up truck is so big, the front and back are in separate post codes. However it did manage to tow our broken down full size, quite large old tractor out of a field with no problems at all, so it has its uses. We had to tow it out backwards as without the engine working on the tractor, we had no hydraulics and the front loader with manure fork on it, was lying on the ground.

DigitalHeMan Posted August 25, 2014 Share #6742 Posted August 25, 2014 No, still no one is near. A big clue with the final picture. This company also makes outboard marine engines (and they're probably carry more power than the 1.0l engine in this thing....) Welcome, dear visitor!

DigitalHeMan Posted August 25, 2014 Share #6744 Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Indonesia? Suzuki Carry? Yep, the Suzuki Carry 1.0. The photo was taken in Bali at a village cremation ceremony. According to Bali customs, people are cremated after their passing. Affluent families perform the cremation soon after the death, but for poorer families the bodies are buried until the time of a communal village cremation. Whilst we were on holiday our local contact took us to a ceremony where around 80 deceased residents of three local villages were being cremated. Cremations in Bali are celebrations of the entry into the afterlife so they are very colourful and happy events. This vehicle was being used to transport some of the decorations from the event, and not, as some may have hoped, as the tinder for the cremation fire. Photo taken on the M6, Portra 160, with (I think) the 28mm Summicron Your turn, Jaap.... Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted August 26, 2014 Share #6748 Posted August 26, 2014 The gauges suggest the UK or North America. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 26, 2014 Share #6749 Posted August 26, 2014 it’s very low revving as the counter only goes up to 1000 RPM, so looking at the other bits, I am thinking of a large engined but early car. It all looks a touch home brewed with two speedometers etc. I am therefore going to guess at an American La France, possible converted from a fire engine.

jaapv Posted August 26, 2014 Share #6750 Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) You are right it is a low-revving car, but it does not have a double speedometer The secret is indeed in studying the cockpit layout... Edited August 26, 2014 by jaapv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted August 27, 2014 Share #6755 Posted August 27, 2014 I think that one might qualify for the Concours de Non-Elegance that is held on the Colorado Grand Classic Car Rally I am doing next month. The prize is awarded to the car which has the best patina of use but is still mechanically sound. It was won two years ago by a Bugatti Type 37, which had virtually none of its original paint left and had never been restored. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted August 27, 2014 Share #6756 Posted August 27, 2014 To be honest, I rather like them that way - although I would start restoring... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 27, 2014 Share #6757 Posted August 27, 2014 If the Type 37 is back this year, I must ask them what the patch on the back is. I suspect it might have been to mount a film movie camera at one point as a high speed camera car. Anyway here is your next car. I hope I have not been too generous with the crop. I also have a feeling this may be a replica, as I think all the originals were destroyed in various accidents or as often used to happen, just scrapped. It amazes me that people scrap racing cars, which as they usually totally rust free, are eminently restorable. My 1977 Porsche 911 RSR had just been dumped in a scrap yard, luckily in a desert in California, when the engine blew and damaged the gearbox in 2001. Sadly it had then been cannibalised for parts for the next 8 years, until I bought the remains in 2009 and restored it. I have another project that has stalled two thirds of the way though, of a 1976 Midas GT race car but I am hopeful my son, who has access to excellent engineering facilities, will take it over and complete it.

Photoskeptic Posted August 28, 2014 Share #6758 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Wilson, you'll have a ball at the Colorado Grand. I've done two: the very first one (which I covered as a free-lance photographer and managed to sell my pics to Autoweek) and then one later ('92) I did in an AH 100M. The first time I managed to spend a morning riding with Bob Sutherland in his 1932 Maserati 8C-3000. I was the riding mechanic and I actually had a job - keeping the fuel pressure up with a hand pump (REALLY got to scan those slides someday). The second we were swapping rides quite a lot and I managed a turn in a Bugatti Type 35 and a turn in a 1960 California Spider (ditto scanning those slides!). What car are you entered with?

wlaidlaw Posted August 28, 2014 Share #6759 Posted August 28, 2014 John, We are doing the Colorado Grand in a 1959 Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato. The #2 chassis, which was Dr. Zagato’s own car. This one has a fairly hot 4.2L engine, as it has been used for racing a lot since leaving the Zagato ownership. In a straight line it is quicker than a 250GTO but a bit vintage feeling round corners in comparison. You should not have had to keep pumping up the fuel pressure. Once you are running, the bleed from the exhaust manifold, should keep the tank pressure up. The last car I had with that system was a 1933 Alfa Monza 8C 2900. You really only had to pump it up to start or in very cold weather, while you were warming it up, it would need a few extra pumps. I suspect that the FIA is going to ban pressurised fuel tanks very soon and force all competition cars to go over to fuel pumps instead. Not actually a silly precaution. It always worried me racing with 20 gallons of methanol in a pressurised tank, right behind my back. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoskeptic Posted August 28, 2014 Share #6760 Posted August 28, 2014 Wilson, you will need the handling more than the acceleration! Besides the altitude will kill quite a bit of horsepower. On the first Colorado Grand, the highway patrol closed off a seldom used road and everyone got to make a high speed run. If I remember correctly the fastest car was a Cunningham C4R (?) around 137 mph. All the Ferraris and Jaguars really struggled - imagine a D-type only making 125 mph. As to the Maserati - not sure why I had to monitor the fuel pressure, but it required a couple of pumps about every 20-30 minutes. Anyway, good luck, it really is a fabulous event. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
