this BOTM entry. "Reaches 140 miles per hour without a drop of sweat. VW motor 1640 cc with double carb and dune tires on the rear." I feel bad now my 1600 with dual carbs tops out at half that.
Maybe he meant 1640 ci.

I think he means klicks, that is kilometres per hour. 140 km/h = 84 mph. That's no sweat.

1640 cubic inches!!!??? That's the size of a Rolls Royce Merlin engine. WOW!!! I'd like to see that in a buggy. The Allison V12 engine from the P38 Lightning was 1760 ci. :laugh1:

At 140mph in a buggy, if you sneeze, you'll lose control and do 16 end-over-end flips and be ejected the length of 3.7 football fields.
