Yes lighthorse, only had there horse's in Egypt no horse's in France just trench's and knee deep mud. Horrific conditions in France from what I was told in passed on stories from Mum and her older brother Bruce. There's that name again.

Got me buggered how those blokes did what they had to for so long over there, then came home raised families and got on with it , i remember as a kid watching Dawn Sevice on Anzac days and being awe inspired by the men that fought in WW1.

Don't know who it is or where but I love it. Must have been only used for drag racing, if it even ran at all. No radiator, no water pump just a bit of pipe to join the water ports up.

I believe this is E.J. Potter U.S.A. He is famous for the transverse small block direct drive Chevy motor and doing the quarter mile burnout with it. He ran a fuel injected model in later years.
