And now for something completely different

Check out the engine

'The underside painted in Hammerite.' A pity. I wonder why people imagine that Hammerite is in any way suitable for the underside of a car.

Does this scare anyone else ?

Look at the "brake piping" hanging in the air above the righthand cylinder bank.

I also wonder how it can run with the alternator belt that loose.

Those 2 things alone would make me wary of driving this. ( But I am over 50 ! ... I did put a Fiat twincam in a Moggy when I was younger )
