I think it's heartwarming to see old engines being repurposed and put to work again

[@OJB42]

OMG. The flames... and the smoke... and the noise... insane! Love it!

[@CoolCarTv]

Thanks, pls share!!!

[@seektruth8662]

Two thumbs way up for adding all of the descriptive information pop ups. There's so many videos of who knows what, because they didn't bother to even list of vehicles name. Well done and very appreciated thank you

[@CoolCarTv]

Nice, thank you Sir 👍

[@TarmanTheChampion]

I like brutus

[@CoolCarTv]

Yes, most of us like BRUTUS, the iconic vehicle built from aircraft engine.

[@dustinpoche5664]

I like the last car wrecked and buried for 40 years!

[@robinreeves6916]

Back in the mid 1970's I drove with a colleague to Capel Curig in North Wales to buy a Jaguar XK150S and drove up a farm lane to a large barn full of beautiful classic vehicles. The seller was Owen Wyn Owen who then proceeded to show us a project he was working on restoring Babs amongst his many other projects. The cylinder heads were off and the exposed cylinders were the size of flower pots. At the time he was trying to recover a similar liberty engine from a swamp in Florida for spare parts. Not bad for a lecturer at Bangor University!!

[@frank.w.buchanan4076]

lovely drive, would highly recommend 👍😎

it would be a sight to behold seeing those land speed record cars at their top speed

[@ericvoge6678]

My upvote is the old codger doing john force style burnouts in the red car. Everyone else is putting. He’s giving er’ the beans.

Babs has long been a favorite of mine since reading Ken Purdy's article on the car's excavation, called appropriately "The Day They Dug Up Babs". It's a fun read and that car... oh how that car never gets old!

[@Alex462047]

What I find utterly compelling about these cars is how unbelievably cantankerous those huge old engines were (I simply cannot imagine flying an aircraft powered by such unreliable, by modern standards, engines). Yet, when they run, they produce so much torque that they'll strip the teeth off the gears in the most durable gearboxes. I imagine, if you know what you're doing, running one of these big engines must be frustrating and rewarding in equally huge measure. Certainly, they won't leave you feeling indifferent!

[@jetstream454]

Most of them run so much better when they're installed in aircraft. I can't put my finger on why some of these engines in the cars are left so poorly tuned

[@Alex462047]

@@jetstream454 The flight logs and memoirs of air crews who flew aircraft powered by these kinds of engines, generally speaking, reflect just how often they suffered engine trouble. Engine reliability was an issue even in WWII, though it isn't much heard of, since air crews had more pressing issues at hand, like being shot at, and that generally steals the limelight. On every raid, a certain percentage of aircraft turned back with mechanical trouble before reaching the target. And, knowing old engines, no matter how well you tune them, they fall out of tune quite readily for a myriad of reasons. So i wouldn't be too hasty to blame the owners for poor maintenance.

[@ElBach1y]

they weren't going through a gearbox in the plane, propeller was bolted straight

[@Alex462047]

@@ElBach1y In most cases that's quite true. What i was alluding to was the adaptation of such engines to automotive use. Breaking gearboxes in that application with them is a recurrent theme.

[@jetstream454]

@@ElBach1y He was talking about car gearboxes, but on that note often those big planes had gear reduction propeller shafts.

[@paddycore8985]

Some of the informations are wrong. The Beast of Turin has no aircraft engine and Brutus has a displacement of 47 liters (46,93) and was built between 1998 and 2006 and not in the Fifties.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Go look at Jay Lenos collection, a couple of Merlins, Hispano Suizas etc. As for Beast of Turin,,, Duncan actually races that at Goodwood and it is not super slow. And drives it to the track. And scares everyone on the Goodwood hill.

[@memorimusic420]

Jay leno has some crazy beasts

[@BradfordtheEclectic]

The Goodwood footage of The Beast's appearance with other large displacement early racers makes for compelling viewing.

[@Tekdruid]

Always a good sign when - the driver's seat looks like an airplane cockpit - the exhaust belches out meter-long flames you can barbeque sausages with - the engine sounds like it's about to take off

The engines at this time was so huge , that's normal it run at lower RPM for maximum power ^^ i speaked about my tiny 3cc rc cars nitro engine capable of 3 hp at + 33000rmp ,he's tiny he'sfast like a bee but a huge engine powerful and "fast" like an elephant is not the same ^^ 300hp from a 2.0 litre is not the same like 300hp from a12 litre !
