Fred's Wife's Secret Magical Mystery Machine (13th)
Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 3:59 am
I'm going to let the viewers decide on this. EDIT: No, I'm not, see recent posts on this page! :-)
The vehicle remains a secret for a variety of reasons, however here is a nicely obscure video showing it clearly running strongly:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edENcjTUVOg
I've been working on this project since mid-July in secret. Still-secret build diary is here: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1827
As you can see, on that evening/afternoon, I clearly had a running engine. You can even hear the turbo spinning down afterward. It ran again a few times after this video, the same day, too.
Caveats:
1) It would not idle
2) I had some throttle control issues
If item 1 is an issue, then multiple FreeEMS "first run" times/dates are wrong. Item 2 seems to me to be a side issue.
Other than that, it ran, on a Jaguar, which is visible in the video.
So, community, do I get 13th place? Or not. You decide.
Those who know the secret are forbidden from having an opinion on this. They're also forbidden from sharing the secret. Unless they want their account, and all posts, removed.
Fred.
