team47b

This months meet included this gem ( shame he didn't clean it :roll: ) it's a 1951 Porche, oldest in Portugal and it was the 49th porche produced...

Socks n sandles is the giveaway

Mikey23

I don't see the car, just the socks and sandals... An image that will haunt me for days

Mikey23

And has he just hit a cyclist? Seems to still be embedded in the windscreen...

I think that's what's known by the kids as a 'selfie'

Cheeky bastardo, I weigh 55kgs (I just weighed myself at the vet's - slow day)

I knew you were an old dog but the Vets!? Cheaper than a Doctor?

team47b

It was a slow day, I was walking past the vet's and popped in to say hello, they were busy in the back office so I waited around, read all the leaflets, like you do,then thought I'd try out the weighing platform, 55kgs, then mrs T joined in and we had a competitive weighing session, she was 49kgs, lightweight, I was just checking out the carbs in the biscuits when the vet came back, oh well I'll be quicker next time!

pinno

So I presume that the Isetta is quite economical carrying a combined weight of 104kg's? If you gave the fatty in the sandals a lift, what would be your max speed?

team47b

38 mph.

I am still running in the engine so that is the max, but I guesss the increased weight downhill I could get over 40 mph, wahey

pinno

According to the Strand Magazine, going over 12 mph in a horseless carriage can cause heart problems and mausea.

priory

49th porsche would more likely have been one of these. just as lethal in the wrong hands

team47b

I thought it was interesting that Porsche didn't win the tank contract so developed the 'tank destroyer' in your photo, that what you call a sore loser
