Topic: The Legendary Adventures of Speedycop, and a V12 Thunderbird?

http://us1.campaign-archive.com/?u=227f … b669168180

Scroll down, and you'll see the Tbird pic with the BMW V12 in front of it. Any bets on if it fits, and if it will run again?

If I can figure out how to fix my headlight switch, you'll be riding in that on June 20th.

Oh, wait. You won't be here, cuz you'll be whipped by then.

I however, will be there.

I'll start practicing my J-Turns in the morning

Bring it.

I won't be bringing it to the track, Johnny, but you will ride in it in DC. I'll be bringing you a car for a judgemobile though, and let's just say it will be a one-way trip, so do all the J-turns you want. big_smile

Re: The Legendary Adventures of Speedycop, and a V12 Thunderbird?

I'm hoping to get a spot w/ our T bird close to yours, so we can compare and contrast the 24 year difference.

At some point (maybe at the race)  it too will receive an engine swap

That's an awesome article...cant wait to see the t-bird in june!

Pendejo - There is no such thing as a racing budget and if you can't afford to set it on fire and watch it burn while drinking a beer then don't race it.

I tried stabbing the engine. Looks like some firewall, ah, adjustments are in order...
