What happens if you married a car and a motorcycle?
THIS!!
Francois Knorreck started working on this unique motorcycle-car, 10 years ago. It took him 10 years and $20,000 to complete this masterpiece he calls the Snaefell. He used a Laverda motorcycle and put together the car using whatever parts he got his hands on.
This guy has some serious talent and what a great idea, instead of junking this:
He turned it into this:
Love these!
Even on minimum wage you can afford this little baby!
This is taken from somewhere in Poland!
Pretty sleek!
Technically, it is a 1966 Shelby GT350 Fastback with an original stoplight red paint job and a high-performance motor designed by the father of the American muscle car movement.
But in reality, this car is much more: It’s the type of machine that car buffs thought existed only in bar-room babbling or in the grimy gossip of a gearhead garage.
“This is why car guys are forever chasing cars,” said Richard Sevenoaks, owner of Tulsa-based Leake Auction Co., which specializes in selling classic autos.
“If some guy says he has a Corvette out in the field, you have to go look at it. You are always looking for the Holy Grail, but for most guys it never pans out.”
Maybe fields aren’t the place to look. How about the garage of a Lawrence apartment complex? One off Four Wheel Drive, no less.
If you think going 40 on a road is slow take a look at these original traffic safety rules! The Red Flag Act was the popular name for the Locomotive Act of 1865, in the UK which put severe restrictions on the steam carriages then being developed.
They were limited to 4 mph (6.4kph) in the country and 2 mph in towns, and they had to be preceded by someone on foot, at least 60 yards (55m) ahead, carrying a red flag. See etching to the right.
Ummm, looks like just a tad more than a ding!
