Durango 95 - Adams Probe 16 Test Drive #31 - Shop Update
Yup, just another day at work when we test (yet again) the M-505 Adams Probe 16. They only made three of these cars in the late 1960s - one was featured as the "Durango 95" in the movie "A Clockwork Orange". Best of all, the car didn't overheat, breakdown, run out of gas, stall, overheat (again), stall (yet again), leak a ton of oil, create a mess, injury me (not permanently), and generally ran flawlessly. I lost my hat, which I had to go back and get with a long walk (hatless) in the sun. I'm going to install some permanent hat tethers in the car, as this is the second time this has happened - you'd think I'd learn.
Enjoy!

I Accidentally Bet The Family Fortune On This Porsche Race Car
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.Месяц назад
No, the title is not clickbait - I did not entirely intend to buy this car but was bidding at the auction "for fun" and they lowered the reserve significantly to sell the car! The rest is history - as told in this video. 1986 Porsche 962 - two time Sebring Winner
No Joke - this SuperCharged MINI Is Setup For The Track, But Almost Too Quick for the Street

Hi all. This video is about our MINI Cooper (or MINI, to be more correct) that we constructed for the MINI book that we composed about a decade ago. Having nearly every upgrade, feature, and performance option, this thing was setup originally for the track, but makes for a very quick street car. I took Sandy out in this thing, and told him it was / is probably the quickest feeling car in the ro...

So, in this video, I let Sandy test my appetite for speed, and he got sweet revenge on me, as I make for a really terrible passenger. I sacrifice my life and limb at the hands ...

Title says it all - testing the water cannon on Little Mo! Currently up for auction on Bring a Trailer: bringatrailer.com/listing/1959-dodge-power-wagon-3/ Note: The power lines that the water seems to be pointing at are about 20 feet behind the truck. When shooting up, I selected the foam nozzle and moved the canon out of the way. -Wayne

    That is the problem with people, they don't make it a priority on crime, its just dismissed as if there wasn't anything wrong. Ah you know I'm no attorney I don't know whatever we got the engines back. F that, guns are blazing, handcuffs out, you are going away for knowing you had stollen equipment worth a lot of money. Maybe your car will get stollen and you might think different.

    It annoys me when people compare apples and oranges. The 959 was the fastest, most technologically advanced vehicle of it's day... end of story... There are a lot of modern era cars that would blow the doors off from the 959 now. Who cares, it can only be compared by what was available at the time. Still one of the ultimate dream cars.
