    Damn......
    Is it your car?? :(
    Things like that have happened before for others, and "luckily" today there are ways to fix it!
    Several companies can weld and repair an engine block or crankcase after damages like that!

    No Carsten, it is not my car. The 37A is in the same shop that is breathing new life into my 16 valve engine. As you can see in the photo below I got the big ends of my original rods a bit warm when the oil pump let me down. An old rod is shown next to one of the replacements. BTW, your drawings are very special. They are as beautiful as they are remarkable.

    Did they track those cars? If so how did the continental GT Speed in the background go? (I am almost certain thats a GT Speed but could be wrong?)

    Thanks Ron, :)

    I hope you detected the problem with your oil pump before the conecting rods came out by themselves as per the 37A???

    I already noticed your beautiful "late-Brescia" from your profile! A Danish friend of mine has an early 16 Valve that you'll find among my Bugatti drawings.......his car suffered an engine fire during a classic car race in Copenhagen (following a complete restoration) a couple of years back, also due to a faulty oil pump! When marshals at the event tried to put out the fire using powder extinguishers they only made the damage even worse than it already was! :( Then followed another two year restoration for my friend!

    Vive la Marque

    A connecting rod has punched it's way out of the crankcase. This phrase is sometimes used to lighten the mood of a disastrous moment.

    Gotta love those guys.

    I was there approximately 3 weeks ago and I have nothing but good things form them.

    They showed me the cars and talked about them knowing I wasn't a potential buyer...yet.

    Yup, until he put a green tarp that covers the gate. Now no one can look in unless the gate is open. I was lucky to snap a pic a few weeks before the tarp went up.

    Why doesn't he garage them? There's no point in not doing it.

    Won't it rain like hell in Florida and deteriorate the cars?

    I still think the design looks like something Prada thought of - amazing!

    Great red/red pics!

    Im really not a fan of the orange sidemarkers the US DOT requires on Veyrons. It just throws the looks of the car off
