   Ecosse, look what I found (also off of the subject we started on, but interesting all the same) that is on ebay. Kinda weird looking, but I'll bet it is a blast to drive though.

Bill you just hit some buttons!! I've loved that Tiger twin four ever since I saw it on Top/5th Gear.


My dream is to some day build a cycle car on the idea of the old Morgans and that eBay find has succeeded in whipping me up again.

*edit* BUGGER! I had a really cool video of Tiff road testing the twin engined monster but it seems the clip is no longer available. So, to save face I humbly offer this from www.v8snowblower.com. For some reason the video isn't playing so refer to the link just above. I do hate computers.

OK, the URL isn't valid. What a pisser! Just Google v8 snowblower for a cheap thrill that seemed to be  beyond my ability to post here. Did I mention I hate computers?

Don't worry about it Eco, I'm going to piss you off grand style ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

When Tiger first built the Z100 (the one with 2 ZX9rs both to rear wheels) I was at there first test sesion.
It had only been completed the night before and the floor was covered with machine swarf and there was the odd spanner floating around in there to :D :D :D :D :D :D
It was quite a car but you should have seen the one with two ZX12s in it driving all four wheels, it was scary :o :o :o :o :o

Just curious Sam... what's it like to have people simultaneously hate you and envy you?  :D

Seriously, it is one of the most exciting cars I've ever seen and would take it over most any Ferarri save the 288 GTO. As if I have those types of choices to make.  :-[

When they first brought the Z100 out, we were running a few of our own cars at a track day at Elvington airfield.
They were running the Z100 on a seperate track to the rest of the competitors.
When the joined in the fun, it wouldn't get anywhere near our Blackbird motored 7, not that it wasn't quicker in a straight line, just wouldn't handle on the corners. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
Wish we still had the Blackbird :'( :'( :'( :'(

I have some plans rattling around my head for a steam powered push lawnmower.  I have not had the time, money or motivation to pursue it.
