Do you think it’s possible to drive this thing without wearing an old timey flat hat? Like maybe if you get in it with a baseball cap on, it refuses to start.

Kinda weird... at first glance it kinda looks like a Bugatti... but that clearly is a V8, not a straight 8. More streamlined looking than a Type 35.

Not sure what that is.

Sounds Wild! I had to look it up. 1927 Napier Campbell Bluebird II.

How dare you. Baseball caps are for North Americans  who play rounders.

I didn’t think anyone played rounders

Also plus fours and a Norfolk jacket, might as well go all-in

It’s a sort of British joke.

British kids play rounders in school, up to the age of 11 or so.

We say, 'baseball, that's cute, our kids stop playing rounders when they are 11'.

Lol, nice. I played Rounders when I was a lad in Australia. Of course nobody here plays baseball, but we’re not witty enough to make fun of those who do either :(

It’s usually a retort to Americans saying football isn’t real football,  football isn’t a real sport, etc...

Oh you mean soccer? Aussie Rules Football is the only real football mate and we’ll never forgive those bloody inbred Queenslander bastards for taking our grand final from us this year.

Yeah I get it. I don’t think any American has even heard of cricket (ever) so we have that over them.

Lol. We called it Soccer in the old days because all of them came under the scope of football (association football, rugby football, etc...), we call it football now, because we can, fella. Lol. 

Odd you mention cricket, Aussie rules was to keep cricketers match fit off season.

But ye’, try explaining to them cricket and how it can go on for days and even then still no winner. Lol.

I'm not into football myself. I like a bit of rugby if I'm in the mood.

In your old days our country probably didn’t exist. Well, the land did. But it didn’t have soccer.

Haha from what I’ve heard that was a challenge. Cricketers were good at fattening up.

TBH try explaining cricket to me, I don’t really see the appeal. I’m not much into team sports but I don’t mind a soccer.

The car in question is a replica of the 1927 Napier-Campbell Bluebird, housing a 24-litre Napier-Lion engine pumping out 700bhp at 2,200rpm. Sir Malcolm Campbell set a record of 174.883mph on Pendine Sands with the original, forever lost, vehicle - having achieved a peak speed of 195mph during the attempt.

Holy crap!

Looked up the car, it had a W12 engine, but not the layout which VAG uses.

It’s more like 3 banks of 4 cylinders. Double overhead camshafts, too... meaning 6 total camshafts. lol

Some of the stuff from that era is so radical as creative inventors were trying to find the best way to make power with what was still new technology at the time. Always fascinating when you start getting deep into the mechanics of cars from that era.

So glad I came across this.
