Ok, so its not a Audi, but infact a 1918 Stanley 735B Steam Car, yep steam car.
Belongs to a mates, mate.

He came to us last year wanting a new burner plate making, he wanted a newplate with more and slightly bigger holes to get more heat thro and generate more steam so to get more speed.
We had to drill 8000 2mm holes in a 6mm thk round stainless plate.

It now runs at 600 psi, he brought into work so we could have a look at it.
When he drove away you could just hear a whistle sound

Indeed, Jay Leno has a lots (22) steam cars, and his garage just few feet away from my shop.

When I was up at Chris' a couple of weeks ago, Jay Leno went driving by in a Stanley, very similar to the one in the picture. Kind of cool.

He had to stop like two weeks ago for something.
I went there asked him if he need belp (lol) but he fixed it (some lose wire)

I dont think he has any s2/rs2 but he has 3-4 R8 and I always see an aviator grey mocked up TT at his place.

I think this car should stays at museum what's doing on road. The owner should replace this with a new bicycle.. Lolxx because i don't think these car worth today. But I think its a good way to remember old memories. Thanks for sharing.

He takes it to alot of steam Rallies in the UK, couple of my snow boarding mates are big into steam engines.

But last yr while turning right a lady overtook him and ran into the side of it

it'd be nice to see a video of the car and the steam engine working! Pretty interesting!
