feynmanfan Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Just joined USA7s, happy to be a member. Bought a 1958 S1 this Summer and having great fun driving and working on it. I clamped a GoPro to the roll bar a few weeks after getting it and drove on the road to a really small town (the mayor is a dog) Rabbit Hash Kentucky. I'm in Cincinnati, across the river. The engine is a FWE Climax, dual H4 SUs. The wine is from the straight cut gears.
SENC Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Welcome! Can't wait to see how to get wine from gears, will save me a lot of $$$! ...Back after watching - beautiful car, sounds great, and fun road! Well done! Edited December 30, 2020 by SENC
Croc Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Thats exactly the type of backroad drive I like! Great car and great video. Lots of members here are in Cinncinnati.
JohnCh Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Great video! I'd love to see some more photos of the car when you get a chance. -John
MoBoost Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 That’s great! Welcome and thank you for posting the video!
Kitcat Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Great video! Great car! Great roads! I posted about traveling through Rabbit Hash in my then street legal Caterham on this very Forum, back in '08:).
feynmanfan Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 I attached a few pictures. The car started it's life in Burbank CA with a pilot who raced at Willow Springs and Riverside. He enlisted Max Balchowsky to "upgrade" the side valve 100E Ford to a Lancia V6 with full Nardi kit, like 150HP or whatever, whoa. Apparently could stay with most except over 100 on the straights when the the lack of aerodynamics caused "issues".
feynmanfan Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 Thanks Mike! You have a great bunch of cars! Steve
feynmanfan Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 Thanks John! Attached a few and will snap a few more when the sun shines. Been busy working on restoring a few things these last few months and excited to get it out. Steve
feynmanfan Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 Thanks! That really is a great stretch, perfect for "Sunday drives" Steve
Brightonuk Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Great vid What I would give for a road with a curve
feynmanfan Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 Thanks! Yes, Southern Ohio and Kentucky has "lots" hills and twisty back roads. This one has few houses and cross roads and is very scenic. Steve
11Budlite Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Beautiful Series 1 Steve! I lived in Lexington for several years back around 1980 and agree about the beautiful back country roads. Had a MG at the time, wish I had my Seven!
feynmanfan Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 Thanks Bruce! Yep, no ride is boring with a Seven. Eventful maybe but not boring. Steve
