While at the Owls Head Transportation Museum outside of Rockland, Maine, I came across this unique thing. Can you guess what it is?

Can you guess what it is? Looks like an early prototype for the "Gears of War" chopper/trike ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gamingnexus.com-179-1318619484.1.jpg) |

You should probably have also blanked out the "Bi-autogo" part of the sign, you made it too easy to guess....
What is up with the spark plugs? There are red-capped plug wires and uncapped ones. They're in a R-W-W-R-R-W-W-R pattern, making it look like intake versus exhaust valves? Or is this really a twin-plugged V8? --DD |

Or is this really a twin-plugged V8? It's got 8 plugs on each side, so it looks to be twin-plugged ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Wait! The red ones aren't spark plugs! Looks like hard lines. Maybe some sort of injection? Water for head cooling? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
