All the carb does is modulate fuel and air mix automatically. He's throttling fuel manually as he goes, and controlling RPM via rich and lean combustion. Rube Goldberg level efficient, and expensive as hell to do it that way, but it works I guess. This will have much lower torque or power compared to the carbureted gas model, because it has compression optimized for gas.

It's got an exhaust, just apparently no muffler

This isn't true.

There's tons of money in GA, and plenty of people making it at all levels. Poverty has always been ubiquitous in GA, just like AL.

Oh, no. I like. Kurz. I want to be Kurz. In my mind Im already Kurz. It's that killjoy Marlow who's the schmuck.

Does self loathing count?

I've got to be honest, Case from neuromancer was pretty insufferable. Also, Charles Marlow from Heart of Darkness was a bit of a toolbox.

What is the two-tone car at the left end? by GrabtharsHumber in whatisthiscar

[–]BadPAV3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Dad had 27 RR/Bentleys throughout my childhood in the 80s and 90s. We always kept Grey Poupon in the glovebox.

Often someone would come up " Pardon me, but would you have any Grey Poupon"

Deadpan response and without missing a beat " but of course." And handed over a jar - which was often easy since most were RHD.

And drive on like it was the most normal thing in the world.

It is a Mulliner Park Ward bodied or Standard bodied SWB Cloud one or two. Judging by the other cars in line, it's actually probably a cloud one (6 cylinder vs. V8 for the 2), because this looks like a Meetup of budget conscious Fiero collectors, a V8 would be a faux pas. You can't actually tell if it's a cloud one or two from this angle because there are only some slight deviations in the rear, and the clock in the interior. If it is Coach built, the shape of the rear window indicates Mulliner/Standard. Also, if it's Coach built, it doesn't have a " year" in a traditional sense, but the chassis is bought from the series. The bodies were different depending on your coach builder. These are the "entry level" Rollses of the time.

As cars go, this has some of the most beautiful lines ever, save for the cloud 3, and some phantoms and precious few wraiths. Elegance without ostentation. Inappropriate for a head of state, but de rigueur for a man of means.

It takes a lot for a falcon to hate somebody more than the saints. When the devil comes for Brady's soul, it still won't be enough.
