Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all?

LOL, I seem to recall when I was at a classic car auction seeing a perfect Sunbeam Tiger about to cross the block. I remember it because my mechanic begged me not to bid. He said there was a pass thru in the glovebox necessary to be able to change a sparkplug(s). Shoehorned that powerplant in there. I just laughed.

@waytoomuchstuff LOL…he focused mostly on pre-war French and German cars and post war Mercedes up through the early 1960’s. He could be forgiven for not wanting to venture into British cars with American iron transplants. Im sure you have fun with your Tiger.

Below is a really cool exhaust note you would rarely encounter. Jim was an absolute genius when it came to cars and aerodynamics. A world class driver, a Cal-Tech engineer, a curious mind and a very real desire to kick Europe’s butt results in something like this!

He once said that the suction created enough static downforce that it exceeded the weight of the vehicle. In theory, it could be stuck to the ceiling. Much of what he learned developing this car enabled him to develop his Penzoil Indy car that harnessed the venturi effect without the need for a power source like the chainsaw motors on the 2j.

@jerryg123 Jim is an amazing guy to talk to. He had so many ideas and still does but his eyes turn red when talking about a bunch of whiny prigs when recalling the Can-Am days. Supposed to be no rules, unlimited only by imagination...until you dominate LOL.

Cool! He was an amazing driver until Las Vegas as well....he always talked about Brian Redmond NOT breaking things LOL...
