That's NOT fun, THIS is fun!!!!

We got it when I was 12 years old, it ran about 15 km/h.
That was immediatly too slow, so we mounted a bigger poulie(?) on the front wich brought the speed to about 25 km/h

That was fun for a week, so we found ourself a smaller poulie for the rear and brougt the speed to 45 km/h

We drove around for a while and got bored again, so again we mounted a smaller poulie at the rear and a 33 mm carb instead of 26 mm.

Now we could rev till the valves couldn't close on time anymore with a top speed of 70 km/h

All this with a 8 bhp Briggs & Stratton engine wich was a special one, cause it had balance things(don't know the name) on the crankshaft so it would'nt explode



And the part of being bored hasn't changed, my car is also always too slow
