Sometimes on the Internet it's hard to tell when someone is joking or impaired in some manner.

You do realize the "P 40" is actually a French pre WW II racing aircraft, a Caudron C 460?

Some may think that cornering flat is overrated.;)

Ride the Machine: Vintage 1980: the GM Lean Machine,
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7gYNb3GSh...400/gm-lm2.jpg
Quote:

"The GM Lean Machine was developed by Frank Winchell of General Motors (USA) in the early 1980's as a concept car. The single seater vehicle is a "lean" machine in the true sense of the word as it leans into corners like a motorcycle whilst keeping the stability of a normal car. The original model was powered by a 15 hp 2-cylinder engine that produced a maximum speed of 80 mph with a fuel economy of 80 mpg at 40 mph. Shortly afterwards a second model was produced that was powered by a larger 38 hp engine. With a total body weight of 159kg this gave the vehicle outstanding performance and the Lean Machine was able to reach 60 mph in just 6.8 seconds with a fuel economy of over 200 mpg."

Thanks for posting that Tracer, Kach. That is almost my dream car except mine would have more easy egress and a tow point

The Tracer MK III is pretty cool, not so sure many of us could get in an out of it very gracefully though.

The creator of the Tracer emailed back, said it was cool to post it. He's no spring chicken but manages to use it.

I built about a dozen 1:32 WWII fighters in my early teens, gave them away to the kids across the street when I left for college.

Gave them my pool table too, they were good kids.

You were a pretty good neighbor to hand all of that down to the kids across the street too.
