This Bugatti Engine Has a Top Speed That you Won't Believe

[@davidweidner1675]

Merlin and Brad relying on the Kindness of strangers. Thanks, Summer, for giving them a ride .

[@RatCityprincess]

Love meeting new people 😁

[@davidbreaux5989]

Up here in Washington State, no single woman would dare to pick up 2 dudes hitch hiking. And most of the time even two dude won't pick up a single woman hitch hiking.

[@ShonMelton-qo9xi]

Merlin I think that’s cool. I bet you get a million hits if you put air ride suspension and one of your hopped up vw engines 1.5 million hits with a Ls and disc brakes! Love it

[@RatCityprincess]

Seattle WA is my home town. I moved to AZ a few years ago. I would never pick up a hitcher in WA. No need to stop in WA.Most breakdowns happen within walking distance of a gas station.

[@RuralTowner]

@@RatCityprincess Down HERE on the other hand...

[@kalaehina814]

Hitchhiking with a complete stranger, multiple breakdowns, literally to last mile and through it all you both laughed and had a good time lol. That's what makes road trips memorable. Congratulations on making it home!

[@stnkyp8]

59 minutes of laughter..!!! Thanks for another great Merlin adventure.!

[@dhag72]

Summer is awesome, and so is her van! Thanks Summer! Also, that Bugatti is basically an engine stand with wheels! What a machine

[@robertruetting1482]

thank you summer ... you are the best... would love too see you @ O.S.G. and marlin helping you with that cool van... love taking road trip's with y'all... fla out...

[@donanything6816]

Another great adventure. Thanks for the lift Summer Love the spirit you brought with you and blessings to you. I wonder if it will fit rail road tracks. . . . Great video, thanks, Merlin.

[@johnmccann1234]

What a crazy adventure! Thank you for sharing the fun!!!!!

[@garymcmullin2292]

my first thought was that it would be so cool for you guys to invite Summer to the shop and do a bunch of much needed repairs on her van.

[@RatCityprincess]

Good idea hahaha

[@harveystephens6115]

Nice funny video!!!! Your ride in van was priceless too!

[@howarddavis2193]

The Fender Did in the Tire At least that is the story !!! Love it you cuys are Great So much Fun

[@simpsonhomerenovations]

Merlin I’m supposed to be outside, painting the fox body mustang, got me in here watching this damn video and I love it! The way you yank the tail cone off and rip the fiberglass reminds me so much of myself. Back to the video. Have a good day my friend.

We got no brakes but we need to advance the timing a bit so we can go faster sounds like merlin.

[@paulcooper9135]

You are having way too much fun!!! The fender relocate was priceless!!! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@lonhoschar1943]

Great video! Another great adventure! I don't think I've seen one of those before. I loved the part when the rear fender fell off and you hit the brake with the fender under the tire. Not to worry, the fender will buff out! LOL!! "Like it never happened"! LOL!! You and Brad seem to have a ton of fun together on these adventures. It's bucket-load of fun for us too. So thankful for you and your channel. I always learn something while laughing!!! :)

[@bigjay6743]

Thanks for the laugh guys. When that fender fell off I gust about spit my coffee out.

[@smjnurse1]

I absolutely love your adventurous spirit! One of the most enjoyable videos I’ve watched in a while. Merlin just takes everything in stride!

[@berniewilson9015]

Damn, you have outdone yourselves this time. I thought some of your other adventures were borderline crazy. In my opinion this one takes the cake!! I was thinking about trying to buy this little gem from you, until you tried to turn the left rear fender into a ski! Wonderful adventure, glad you almost made it home without any major mishaps. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@JimWooddell]

Hi Merlin. That place you stopped at is Vidal, not Earp. Wyatt Earp's cottage was very close to where you parked. The intersection of CA 95 and Hwy 62 is Vidal Junction. Earp is towards Parker at the intersection where you turn to Parker (62 & 95). Fun video. If you ever need a chase truck for adventures like this, give me a call. I am in Parker. Jim

[@onefootfighter22]

Thanks Merlin, the laughter was very much needed! Love your show!

[@Derf1313]

What a hoot, y'all seem to find ways to keep us in stitches! Sure hope you & Brad had as much fun as what you presented to us, with the latest episode of the MOSG! Looking forward to what the next adventure might be, & perhaps a bit more on your newest Hot Rod Bugatti, lol! Thanx !

[@bubbanater1984]

This is probably one of the coolest looking vw body kits I’ve ever seen amazing what they were able to do with the vw engine and trans tunnel. I wonder what the vw design team thought when they put those out back in the day if they was to see how many things they made out of there little cars

[@8dilly]

My Boss has one of those Bugatti's. His has a firewall but there is an access cut ontop of the body to access the gas tank and the rear they made the tail section removable from behind the rear seat. Awesome car to drive. Boss has never driven it but i have after working on it. Has had carb issues .. Also keep up the good work. Enjoy your escapades. 🤙

[@QuiltedLily]

Hello from Alberta 🇨🇦 thank you for sharing your adventures! 😊

That lady's braver than most...picking up two dudes in the middle of nowhere. Good on ya Summer!

[@mnbsay9548]

Way back in the day I lived in Dolan Springs and went to high school in Kingman. My grandparents were rock hounds and it seemed we were always going to quartzite for some rock show. It’s only now that I appreciate those days. Living in the desert as a teenager was absolutely the best. As far as the you and the car…what could be better. Appreciate your show and your talent always interesting

[@randymiller7521]

I love these type of adventures for sure. You definitely drag home some crazy contraptions. 👍👍

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Oh man! I think that roadster was the same one we saw in 88 Shades RV Park in Quartzite when we stayed there a few years back. It had been sitting quite a while then.

[@fishman6364]

Even better the A-team van, "love it when a plan comes together ". Great content Merlin

[@99unclebob]

The crazy antics and adventures of Merlin and his sidekick Brad, oh ya and Summer their chauffeur to Quartzsite, she was sweet, what an awesome spirit she was, I had heard of these kits, i had never seen one until this morning and knew it was going to be an epic mechanical adventure, there isn't much the 2 of you don't fix, Merlin/Brad I almost 💩 when you ran over the fender and were laughing so hard i couldn't stop laughing for a good 3/4 minutes , and the no brakes, yeah no problem you 2 just take it in stride, no worries, you guys will have it fixed up a bit , just enough to make it drive and have more adventures and make more videos for us subscribers to ride along with and laugh our asses of again, and i'll watch each and every one of the videos ❤ the best

[@joostderidder]

Hahahaha ... what an adventure, gentlemen !!! I suppose that those polyester bodies were sold as a kit to adapt to a VW-chassis. Kind'a like this idea even if I'd prefer a Bugatti-ish body with some (old) engine in front instead of in the rear. Putting some bags of sand over the front axle (under the hood) will, for sure, give this car a lot more stability. Probaly something about 60 up to 100kg. Thanks for sharing. I really liked this vid! Grts from Belgium.

[@davejobe6282]

I had a smile on my face from start to end. Thank you for the entertainment . 😎✌️

[@RR-ll9de]

Merlon I think you’re the only one that could get this rig home from junkyard to Havasu. You’re amazing.

[@stephenlewis8143]

Amazing & most entertaining video I've seen in a long time. Ettore Bugatti (born in Italy), became a German & then French manufacturer (1909) of high performance autos; beauty & race victories. Your skill and expertise put life into it and got it going (Ettore long gone is smiling at you two).

[@nhmtrhd]

These "wing-in it" episodes are 45:32 working quite well Merl. You guys are having a gut busting time. And are very entertaining!! I hope you can continue being safe and within the statutes if you know what I mean 😁 Thanks for the very interesting entertainment👍

[@bigedmoore9251]

Merlin, you and Brad are such a hoot Keep it up. Everything is so great when you guys get together make me laugh.😂

[@gragor11]

Love your Snow Bird comment about them being chased out by the temp. They leave hear for the same reason, abandoning us to the cold, damp, dark and snow and send us photos of their tans and T Shirts and come back when its good and easy again complaining about all the stuff we didn't accomplish while they were gone. Great project. 1500 cc? Luxury. All you have to do is make it back to Havasu. I went to the Yukon and made it part way back in a VW window van with a 1200 cc motor and a load of horseshoes.

[@karenhenson3079]

Saw this in front of your house when my wife and I drove by last week. I thought " I have not seen this on a video" so good to see this! You both were having way too much fun!

[@ktmcc4360]

You should come up to the "NoB.S.OBS"show at the old tractor and machinery museum up in Brooks OR. In August. All Ford obs trucks from 97and back over 400 trucks. Great vendors and the museum grounds would blow your mind. Living motor exhibits and farm and heavy equipment. It will only be 90°!!!

As an old Parker boy I remember when people actually lived in Earp. Cool to see my old stomping grounds. I actually spent a year on the California side of the river. And went to Parker dam school. The un official shool yell was "We're the Rams from Parker Dam! So go Dam Rams!!" Sad what the government did to the town of Parker Dam. It was a nice little place.

Thankyou Merlin you guys put a huge smile on my face from start to finish. When you ran over the fender i just lost it 🤣

For sure. It was a Nash Metropolitan or a really good replica. I remember those little cars running around when I was a kid. Someone in town had an Izetta too. Then there was Happy Laker who built a plywood kit car with a 12 hp engine from popular mechanics.

[@edwardwerick2420]

Some years ago a friend of mine built a car nearly identical to yours right down to the model A wheels and tires. The very light weight and skinny tires made it nearly un-drivable especially on wet pavement. He poured a bag of redi-mix (80lbs) into the front axle mount bracket which helped some.

[@aloberdorf4579]

Ain't worth nothing in cash....but as an Adventure.....Totally Priceless.....and the Montana Plates....just adds flavor to the brew...cause the story of how it got to Quartzite is probably as Grand as Your Story.

The Radiator is from the Original Bugatti Here's what I found on it The Bugatti Type 35B was introduced in 1927 and was the final iteration of the Type 35 series. The name Type 35TC was pondered since it shared the same 2.3 liter engine as the Type 35T and a supercharger just like the Type 35C. The engine produced an astonishing 138 horsepower, by far the most of the Type 35 series.
