1 gram of petrol mixed with 14.7 grams of air, equals 656 bhp and happy days.
Add water to taste, oh no, hydrolock.

I am sure this unfortunate gentleman must have said, "I don't know what I was thinking".
Perhaps the red shorts could suggest, taking a short cut to arrive at an AMOC meeting on time.

Was there a sign, 'Danger, YouTubers ahead'?

Did he still think it was owned by Ford?

Ahha always love your humour, Jon. And the red pants reference was golden.

The video of this has been doing the rounds on Facebook and Instagram over the last few days. It’s been posted in a few of the AM Facebook groups in the hope the culprit will identify himself. I suspect that’s unlikely unless someone recognises him, but the question has to be asked, why oh why would anyone do this? Total stupidity imho. BRM.

Reminiscent of the old Rufford Ford shenanigans before the spoilsport council blocked it off.

Why would anyone do this? With any car, but especially that....

One can only assume their understand of the consequences is non-existent. You might expect someone with that car might have a modicum of understanding, and even if not, would you not think "I don't risk it". You don't need a deep understanding of engines...or arguably any understanding at all...to work out it's probably not a good idea....

I'm going to give Jon 10 bonus points just for using the word 'stoichiometric'.

If you could mix petrol with hydrogen and oxygen separately then you might get 1,000bhp+. Until the pistons fly through the bonnet, that is.

Not deep, nor as high as the exhausts, but I assume higher than the air intakes. He's not entirely ignorant of what's occurred so surprising that he took the risk.

Best comment: "the names Pond, James Pond".

Obviously not built to the same spec as the Lotus "Wet Nellie"

Proof that money and brains don't always go together.

Why doesn't the council build a small bridge?

What a brilliant idea.

We could submit a tender for £20 million to the council.
It would be necessary to include many pages about diversity, inclusiveness and whatever that E stands for, so they know our bid is genuine.
Enclose a Pride flag, perhaps also a brown envelope and it is essential to outline a net zero policy. Always best to say zero emissions will be achieved in 2030, they are fixated about that date. It is only calculated net, so we can still carry on as usual, as long as we buy a few of those offsetting certificates from BYD.

When they accept our bid, I can ask an Army engineer that I know, who can arrange to put a metal bridge up in one day, for £250,000.
We can erect one of those road signs stating 'SIGN NOT IN USE', councils like that.

Those signs always make me laugh.
They're recursive.
If the sign is not in use, then you ignore what it says....which means it IS in use....which means you take notice of what it says....which means it's NOT in use...etc etc

E for equity.

Councillors / Reform leaders like you to help them out with their mortgages...

In humour lies much truth, sadly. Burnham says he's going to get 'growth in every postcode' - maybe he has enough drive to get rid of some of this anti-productive ste?

Because it cost a small fortune.

Because it will be easier to just tow the car out of the way.
