The Racing and Competition G.B. General Discussion

Stretch the time frame by only a few years, and the racing Saladin becomes a possibility. With 170 brake horses of Rolls Royce B80 engine and some stripping of excess armour, one could probably get a great deal more than the officially advised 50 mph.

The Saladin only had a 170 hp engine      my Dodge Ram has nearly 400

But yours hasn't got a gun turret........... 

Weeelll! I've been working on that ----

I had an idea ages ago to put a 1/24 aircraft engine in a 1/24 truck or car kit, I never got around to build it.
Perhaps something along the lines of SteamPunk might be a better option.

Ha! Oklahoma, why am I not surprised.

...and that is exactly what they had in mind when they added "the right to bear arms" to the US constitution...

[TheChronicOne]

If you can't saw buildings in half with it, it's just not worth having I say! 

[PR19_Kit]

I want one of those with an automatic 'seek and destroy BMWs' software package added to it.

I used to play Car Wars and to this day, when somebody cuts me up on the road, I flip up the safety on the non-existent gun button on the wheel and go "brrrrrrrt!" Have to remember not to do it when there are other people in the car though...

I go "Pew Pew Pew"...especially when the person in front of me doesn't understand the concept of the posted speed limit (usually by going slower)

[TheChronicOne]

I used to have a PA system on my car with a bullhorn up front and I'd verbally chastise people using my CB radio. 

[zenrat]

I use a dirty mark on the windscreen as an aiming point and track it onto target by moving my head.
When someone cuts in front of me I shout "RAMMING SPEED".
Like Archer I have to remember not to do these if not alone.

Death Race, is a thing, just saying

Death Race, is a thing, just saying

Every major highway in New Jersey *except* the Garden State Parkway in the summer

On the receiving end, I had hellfire and brimstone rained down on me.

I was driving on a holiday in Texas and I messed the priorities at a junction.  The guy blasted his horn, sped up to pass me and brandished a cross that he had hanging from his mirror!.  He then glowered at me instead of looking where he was going then pulled right in front of my nose forcing me to brake. I'd have been pretty p!ssed off if I could have believed what  I saw!

[TheChronicOne]

He obviously thought you were a vampire. "I can't believe they let those guys drive in the day time!    " 

[nighthunter]

It seems more along the lines of: "The Power of Christ compels you!" Lol!
