Hey everybody...
I was cleaning up the computer tonight, and found some photos of the car that preceded the Puma, and an odd one it is.
It's a Berkely B95 from England. This one has a two-cylinder Royal Enfield motorcycle motor, front wheel drive, chain drive from the motor to the four-speed gearbox, four wheel independent suspension and front wheel drive. There was also a B110, which had a hotter cam and higher compression. The B95 would do 95 mph, and guess what, the B110 would do 110 mph. This motor would make 14 more horsepower than the B110 would, thanks to modern technology. I wonder what it would do with another 35% more horsepower than a B110? Anybody brave enough? Even the chassis was fiberglass with aluminum reinforcement.
There are a few with 150 plus horsepower sportbike motors in them, the mind bogles. Kind of like a Beetle with a small block.
It weighed a lot more when I was sitting in it... ;D
Here are a few photos:
Now to get a REAL look at how tiny this thing is...
Wait for it...
Wait for it...
Wait for it...
Yes, that's a regular lawn mower!
No trick photography here!
Can you imagine being next to, or in front of a Ford Excursion? Heck, can you imagine being next to or in front of a Mini Cooper?
Even more amazing, I actually fit, bit it did require a smaller wheel, much like the Puma. It's in Germany now. The autobahns will never be the same.
