Intro - ref fastest flathead.

[big jungle jim]

Hi everyone. Just a quick note on who i am and what i do. My name is Jim turnbull living in sunny England. I own 2 32b roadsters one which is finished and one which is half done. My current ride has a blown flathead motor, 296ci which is currently the quickest in england for a street driven car.I am a member of the deuces hot rod club and founder which has been running for the past 8yrs.This weekend i am racing at the nostalgia nationals in england and might try slicks for the first time to see if i can get into the 12s. The car currently weighs in at 2600lbs.I live and breath hot rods and flatheads. The new car should be out next year and should be a high ten's street car running a flatty of course. I am hopefully moving over the pond next year bringing the cars with me to have some fun. Here's a few photos.

Where you trying to move to Jim?

I have just done the whole immigration, work permit, social security, green card thing myself. Its a paperwork minefield....If you need any help/guidance etc, just drop me a PM or email.

Say Hi to Kev and Alex at the weekend.

Hey Jim welcome aboard!

Love your car - Am I correct that your car runs a magneto? Think I saw something on your car saying you were running a mag on it...

BJJ, where are you planning on moving to in the States? I would love to mix it up with ya. Keep us posted on how you run at the nostalgia drags.

I've only run a couple times with the blower on my car so I don't really know how it'll run yet, I've still got a lot of tuning to do.

If you'd like, PM with your phone number, I love to talk to you for a while. There's a cult of us Flathead nuts in the US, you'll probably like it.
