I-Austin FX3 yami
Yiziphi izindaba angazixoxa? I-odometer yale 1956 i-Austin FX 3 ikhombisa "92434 miles (148,758 km)", iningi layo elalishayelwa njengetekisi eLondon kwaze kwaba ngu-1971 lapho ikhishwa emsebenzini.
Unjiniyela weRolls-Royce uRainer Keissling wathenga ikhumbi ngo-1971 ngo-£120 (cishe u-$177) waliyisa eJalimane, lapho ayehlala khona. Wabe eseyiletha e-Australia ngo-1984 lapho efuduka nomndeni wakhe.
“Wayemane ethanda izimoto zakudala,” kusho uChris, enye yamadodana akhe amathathu. "Ngaso sonke isikhathi uma eya eNgilandi ngomsebenzi, wayebuya nezingxenye eziyisipele, njengemoto eqalayo emthwalweni wakhe."
Lapho uyise eshona cishe eminyakeni emihlanu edlule, imoto yadluliselwa emadodaneni akhe amathathu, uRainer, uChristian noBernard, abazibophezela bona ukuyibuyisela esimweni sayo sokuqala.
UKeisling uthi: “Wayesenqolobaneni futhi kancane kancane wawa kabi. “Ubaba akukho angakwenza ngakho ngoba impilo yakhe yayibuthakathaka.
“Ngakho sazibophezela ukuthi siyibuyisele. Kancane kancane, sayilungisa sayibuyisela esimweni sokusebenza.”
UCaseling naye wayesebhizinisini lobunjiniyela, njengoyise, ngakho-ke izipele eziningi ezazingekho wayezenza, kwehle kuze kuyofika ezigabeni zokushayela.
Omunye wemisebenzi emikhulu bekuwukuthatha isikhundla sika-“Prince of Darkness” odume kabi uLucas Electric.
"Abakaze basebenze kahle ekuqaleni, kodwa manje basebenza kahle," kusho uKeisling. “Sisebenzise imali ephakathi kuka-$5000 10,000 no-$XNUMX XNUMX ukuyibuyisela eminyakeni edlule. Kunzima ukusho ukuthi sisebenzise malini. Kwakuyindaba yothando, hhayi izindleko. "
Inani lamanje lilinganiselwa ku-$15,000 kuya ku-$20,000. “Kunzima ukuthola inani eliqondile. Akuyona into engavamile, kodwa inenani elikhulu lokuzwela." Abazalwane basebenzisa le moto emishadweni yomkhaya nabangane, kuhlanganise noChris nomkakhe u-Emily.
Uthi: “Ushayela kahle kakhulu. Njengawo wonke amatekisi aseLondon, amasondo angaphambili ajika acishe abe ngu-90 degrees, okuyinikeza indingilizi encane engu-7.6m ukuze ikwazi ukuxoxisana ngemigwaqo emincane yaseLondon nezindawo zokupaka ezincanyana, kodwa ayinawo amandla okuqondisa.
Isici esiyingqayizivele i-Jackall eyakhelwe ngaphakathi i-hydraulic jacking system, efana nesistimu esebhodini esetshenziswa ezimotweni ezinkulu ze-V8. Kukhona ne-interlock eyimishini ekuvumela ukuthi ufuthe ojeke ngesandla.
I-FX3 ifakwe amabhuleki ezigubhu ezisebenza ngokudonsa futhi imiswe kuma-ekseli aqinile yiziphethu zamaqabunga. Bekuyimodeli yokuqala enekhebhu yomshayeli ne-trunk ehlukene. Ngemuva kwesihlalo sebhentshi esinezihlalo ezimbili ezibheke ngemuva.
UCaseling uthi imitha yetekisi yanqanyulwa ku-transmission ngesikhathi ingasebenzi, kodwa manje isiphinde yaxhunywa ukuze ishayele imitha, efundeka ngopence ngamunye kanye nengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yemayela. Uthi kuphethroli kuhle kakhulu ngoba idonsa ngodizili odonsa kanzima futhi ijubane layo elikhulu ngu-100 km/h.
“Ayisheshi kodwa idonsa kahle ngegiya lokuqala nelesibili,” usho kanje. "Kunzima ukushayela ngaphandle kwe-synchrom ngegiya eliphansi futhi ngaphandle kwesiteringi samandla, kodwa uma usutholile, akukubi kangako."
