I can’t imagine it is easy to make it turn. 90hp and hundreds of pounds on bicycle tires? Scary!

I’ve never been too excited about prewar vehicles in a “Wow, I wish I could drive that!” sense, but I do love the atmosphere of just batshit try-anything engineering and crazy risk-taking that they represent.

Seems like a rather small engine for 8L.

Is that really what it was called? Makes sense for this one now.
This 1918 model is the same level of batshit crazy as the modern one.
