Brent B3B Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 Plymouthy claims to spend all his time in the shop working on cars but it appears that is not always the case. Confused, Is that what they mean by "hair of the dog....."? Or is that a cat nap? Plymouthy hard at work.jpg still waiting to see interesting pictures.......Now I see what your saying 1 Quote
Uncle-Pekka Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) I am sure that there was no intended connection between eating and getting intestinal gas, in the minds of the owners. (On this side of the pond we call the automotive fuel "gas" rather than "petrol', "essence", "benzina", etc. But I am sure that most travelers, especially the most juvenile, would instantly see a causal relationship between the two. "Hey dad, eat and get gas. Get it?" I have seen similar declarations at establishments that also purveyed fishing bait: "EAT ... GAS ... WORMS." Thanks Donald, Yes we realized from the start that the sign was not intended to be funny or obscene, but the debate was over on if a native will see the double meaning or not. What I mean is that so common that no-one bother to chuckle on it... obviously not. Thus there is the risk for the owner to get jokes on beans every other day.

Todd B Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 I am 50 years old and I will definitely will fall into the "most juvenile". I sure think it was funny. 1 Quote
_shel_ny Posted January 16, 2016 Report Posted January 16, 2016 I tend to believe that the sign was worded to draw attention, and that it was to inform, and amuse. Humor was not just developed in the 21st century. Quote
pflaming Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 Don, where was the first pic taken? Do I see three movie theaters placed side be side? Quote

Do I see three movie theaters placed side be side? this may not be the actual question PP asked but is the correct response...the First Photograph, or more specifically, the earliest known surviving photograph made in a camera, was taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826 or 1827. 1 Quote
Uncle-Pekka Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Radial piston airplane engine in a car? I would like to see how the transmission is arranged in this "vehicle"... Based on a 1937 Hudson? Those Edmunds&Jones headlights cost more than their weight in gold today. Edited January 19, 2016 by Uncle-Pekka 1 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 even with the radial engine..it appears someone still blew his door off... 1 Quote

I don't know how this feller done it but if you Google 'Radial Engine Powered Goggomobile' and check out the #3 video. Shows the guy making his transmission. A simple 2 speed.

Based on a 1937 Hudson? Those Edmunds&Jones headlights cost more than their weight in gold today. The grill shell and body are from a '37 Terraplane (by Hudson). U.S.'s WW2 Sherman tanks were powered by radial engines. Quote
