The P1800 Silhouette is perfect for this! Never seen one as a gasser before. Cool dude, cool family, cool car...

So proud of my Uncle Lee and the girls for their amazing creation. So surreal to see them reach some heights of stardom and for the car to be turned into a Hot Wheels model, I know Lee still can’t believe it either! Can’t wait to get my hands on several models! Well done to Uncle Lee and everyone involved ❤️

You guys should do a cheap car challenge and race in a class called sportsman ET. Your allowed any car that runs slower than 12s, its bracket racing meaning you give a time in and have to run as close to that time as possible

@niklaswejedal463 2 года назад

As a Swede, you might think I would find making a gasser out of a Volvo P1800 to be more than a little blasphemous - but I could not approve more! I always felt the regular P1800 was the most "beige" of all supposed-to-be sports cars, a car for people who turned mentally 80+ the on their 30th birthday. It needs all the extra oomph it can get - well done Lee for making it actually cool!

@isaks3243 Год назад

I have seen this car in images from time to time and off cause as that die cast. but I have always been a bit sceptical of it cause I own an 1800 and absolutely love the cars by all my heart so seeing one modified like this just made me hope that it wasn't a nice example that was chopped up to make this one. but now, after seeing the before photo will I say that I absolutely love this build. he brought one back to life with his own take on it and I love that!

@DJ4000VOLT Год назад

I found a few of the hot wheels of this car, and its so cool to have in the collection, definitely a good winner. Even though this model of car wasnt used in the era of gassers being made, like the bel airs, novas, willys, it fits so well and seems like it did have its place in the NHRA looking back in the videos from the 60s.

@charliewernette Год назад

Have the diecast hanging on my wall, thing of beauty and the gasser style are rather quick on the booster tracks as well if they don't flip off being top heavy, the bronze Mad Mouse 62 corvette gasser was suprisingly fast on track as well.

@boosted242 2 года назад

Good ole p1800!! Love it! You actually bought the v70 of Michal, my mate. :D That was interesting! I got a volvo xc70 and a 1981 volvo 242 DL that i am building into a restomod nonsense Stupid Street car that i document on my tube here too... Have fun gents!

A Car Throttle Challenge: Each presenter buys a classic British car (40 years plus?) for under 750 pounds and drive it from John-O-Groats to Lizard point via Ardnamurchan Lighthouse and Ness Point, only using B roads. Challenges along the way. Least number of breakdowns wins.
