Flintstones. Meet the Flintstones...

i keep getting recommended videos of these goofy ahh cars 😭🙏

Where is your helmet???

What are the specs on the motor and battery?

Awesome. Need to add some motorcycle sound with speaker...and maybe a hand or foot switch for the brake light? :-)

This is not a TUTORIAL, just a couple of guys getting their first T instruction and having some nervous fun, not an advanced training. Don't try this at home...oh, wait you probably don't own a T and if you did you would already know how to drive it. I am an awful teacher but the guys figured it out mostly in their own. My comments on the video are often my personal anxiety talking. There is more room to drive at the museum but this was a "basic" training video over a limited course. The bikes carb crapped out but but I have replaced it and doing some chain work on it now. Just got through "break in" and needs some tweeking.

Nice!!!!

very cool definitely a lot of work involved! enjoyed the video!!

cool bro

Love it! Keep up the good work!

Great antique upright grand piano. Thanks so much for the video and for saving and restoring this great piano. I just finished restoration of my 1902 Schaff Bros. upright grand. Love the Bigs.

I am impressed. Noble effort. If you have the motivation and creativity to build the 1/2 scale model, it is clear to me that you have the capability to build a full scale model. What you have built must have taken a lot of thought, time and energy. From someone who has built a full scale replica RRAC 1914, (though it was only 3/4 complete when my engineering business was sold), I am glad to see you added your project to RUclips.

Until around 2000, it was considered by notables in the armoured museum world including The Tank Museum Bovington that no examples of the 1914 pattern Rolls Royce Armoured Car (1914 RRAC) existed anywhere in the world. At about this time, David Fletcher, the then librarian at Bovington, (now retired) told me about an author writing a book on the World's remaining RR Silver Ghosts had travelled to India to check out Indian owned Silver Ghosts. They told the author about a 1914 RRAC on display at an Indian military museum. In 2001 and 2003 I travelled to India on business and took time out to track it down. It is indeed an 1914 pattern and is located at the Ahmednagar Cavalry Training Centre museum. I took a taxi from Mumbai to Ahmednagar (5 1/2 hours each way!). At the time of my visit, there were 48 exhibits, some quite rare (such as a Sherman with mine detonating flails and a German SDFZ 8 wheeled armoured car). Of the RR 1914 pattern, anything of value has long been pilfered. Brass, German Silver etc. It was in an unloved condition though received a coat of paint every now and then. During it's post WW1 service with the Indian Army, its wheels and balloon tyres had been replaced with solid disc wheels and solid rubber tyres. It must have been excruciating riding in one of these post war modified examples. I spent a lot of time at the museum in the two visits, reverse engineering the body. 8mm plate steel, probably manganese steel. The body is like a giant mecchano set. It is held together with 3/8" Hex head bolts, 3/8" counter sunk screws, and hex nuts. BSW thread. These were not standard (modern) BSW. The hex heads and nuts were thicker and larger than modern BSW 3/8" fasteners. Steel angle is used to connect many of the armoured panels. The only curved panels are the turret, the rear turret hatch and two rear body panels. Turret runs on plain steel bearings on standard mild steel, curved u channel. There is no winding mechanism to traverse the turret, it is simply man handled into position. The chassis/drive train is pure Silver Ghost with of course, dual rear wheels and tyres, and the standard Silver Ghost 7 leaf rear springs increased to 11 leaves, the lowest leaf is 3/8" thick, the remainder standard Silver Ghost leaf spring thickness. Each armoured steel panel has a part number stamped into it. When I was at the museum, this RR 1914 pattern was painted light blue but why I don't know. I tool hundreds of photos during the two visits and created a complete set of dimensional drawings. The finish of the steel is crude with edges looking like they have been flame cut with no attempt to clean up the rough edge. At the time, I owned a defence engineering/manufacturing business in Melbourne Australia specialising in manufacturing modern armoured fighting vehicle components for the Australian Army's then Leopard MBT, M113A1 fleet, and ASLAV fleet (LAV-25). In 2001 after returning to Australia, I purchased a project rolling RR chassis of the period and me and my workers commenced building a replica out of steel. Unfortunately, the business was sold before the project was completed. It was about 3/4 complete. The new owner broke up the body and sold the chassis with its original doctors coupe body. Until I came across this RUclips video, I hadn't thought about creating a RUclips video on our project. I will give this some thought.

Here's a link to the most recent motor bike I put together: ruclips.net/video/YGHQ0zqMk6Q/видео.html

I live in the town where cornishes were made

A year later, how has this treated you? I'm hiring piano movers tomorrow to bring one which looks to be the same model to my house and want to try a similar refurbishment as a gift to my wife. Thanks for the great pictures and music!

Any documentation as to how you did this? I've seen several replica ft17s but no one explains or documents the process

Please do put out the how-to! Great work!

The little girl across the road said "I want one" as her first reaction to seeing the finished car go.

great work! what a cool project!

i recognize that voice!

And I have never heard of this before Mark! That music is familiar though....

i wish this was 7 years ago when i built my RR armoured car
