    looks like the one on the left is a 3 and the one on the right is an 8 ....could be wrong. Saw some pictures of new Kissel trucks with the front plates with the same number. Perhaps they split the pair to move down the road. It was some sort of display.I'm pretty sure police in 1917 Wisconsin were pretty understanding of the Kissel contribution to WWI.

    That's the most insane use of a Citroen ever.

    But how do you turn that sucker with 3 rear axles and that short of a wheelbase? I don't get it.

    Citroen suspension could enable height control on one rear axle only, and set it to lift the others off when manoeuvring?

    So it's an obsession? I always thought of it as a sickness. What a great way to start the day. Thank you Bob.

    Thank you Bob! What a great way to start the week! That is exactly how I've pictured a Vintage car garage in England, even the scenery is the way I've dreamt it to be. I'll never get there, but that video is the next best thing. Thanks again. Bob

    Is there anyone on here that can set up Harley wheels for Ford or Anglia spindles?

    Bob, look what you've done; my wife and I had been planning a trip to England for months when I stumbled upon your post about Duncan Pittaway. I was so moved by it that I tracked down Mr. Pittaway and he graciously invited me to his shop. I accepted and drove our rental car to his shop. A better ambassador to the hobby you can not find. I got to see all his stuff and was really blown away. Thanks for the posting. The GN's have caught my eye....

    Doug, we have had a lot of snow this winter. Thankfully it has been cool to keep the melt going slow. I'm praying it continues to be cool to allow the snow to keep melting slow and hopefully prevent flooding. The state government is happy with the higher price of oil to keep more money flowing into the stat coffers. still , oil development and production remains somewhat stagnant as well as the rest of the economy.

    So now that I'm interested in these things, finding proper parts is half the battle. I am in no way in a position to buy anything now, I'm just trying to understand what's possible, and what's available. I like the idea of a pre WW2 air cooled V twin for power, but don't know jack about any of them. Looks like the players were Harley, Indian, JAP, and Anzani. Any others? were some better? Some to avoid? So much to learn here. I love the Chain-Gang transmission idea, but I'm not sure where to begin with that, unless I find a GN or Frazer-Nash basket case.

    Well......You're going to have an hard time finding a GN or Frazier -Nash in any condition for sale in the U.S. . early motorcycle engines are scarce as well.Scroll up and you'll see a post by RolfZoller. Find his thread on the car he is building.
