Ok Will. I was talking to the owner of the steamer. I asked him what its top speed was. Can you answer this?
I have a friend who owns an A model Ford, and there is no way this will do 100kph
Well! Blow me down!

All very nice, but the important question is: were the police there to inspect them all when they left? :p
Now, why is it with these very old cars that they always seem to be driven by the original owners?
Inspect them for what?
I'm assuming Davo is having a dig at cops who lurk near car club rallies and such with defect notices burning a hole in their tac-vest pockets :DQuote:

I'm assuming it's one of the Locomobile's, not a Stanley (steam obscures too much for me to tell), but they're a pretty slow old thing. That car would probably be happy at about 30 - 40km/h, maybe it could be pushed up to 60 with a full head of steam, but they can't generate enough to maintain this.Quote:

They're on club rego anyway, it's up to club scrutiny as to what is road legal, and they only need to meet standards of when they were made...Quote:
