    Wow

    That picture is way OLD... that is when I first started letting my hair grow... about a year later, it was half way down to my waist...(from my arm pits). Sure glad I didn't play the piano back then, would never have been able to push it and play at the same time.

      So F-1 Cars at one time had 4 wheels on the nose.
      I truely had thought so, however didn't want to ask--
      But I had thought i had remembered it, and even saw it on TV when I was a kid.
      How long did this era last? Why was it banned? Anyone know?

        The 6 wheel F1 cars were not banned. Jody Sheckter was the only one that managed to win in it. In fact Sheckter called it a piece of junk when he left the team. Too heavy in the front with the added suspension. The project was abandoned.

              Little known fact that Williams also planned on racing a six wheel racecar, but when the FIA got wind of this car testing, it was quickly banned.

                  Thought this one was cool. Note the position of the driver, and the position of the headers. Yup, it's a rear-engined Funny Car!

                    One look at this creation explains why they are called "Funny" Cars.

                      Not only is the engine in the rear, the body flips FORWARD. These are some damn cool cars in my opinion!

                        Sure, the drag car is cool, BUT check out the Morris Minor truck in the background!
