Hello from the Isle of Man U.K.
merryknees on January 26th 2010, 3:30 pm
Hello all 
and thanks for having me.
Been into dragracing and Hot Rods/Street Rods since I could hold a fork. Numerous builds and projects over the years most famously an AC Cobra S/Gas car which I built back in the eighties and won the European S/Gas championship with in 1991.
These days however i'm cruising around the Isle of Man in my latest creation a BBF powered 41 Willys.
The engine is a fairly stock 74 460 out of a Lincoln. Funds permitting I will be either taking advise from you guys on building a motor BUT more than likely, due to limited machine facilities, purchasing a crate motor.

No, those guys are just unreal. To ride a motorcycle at speeds over 200mph on closed public roads through villages travelling a foot away from boundary walls is just
