So, what is the block/head. If it was built 50+ years ago is not Japanese. Twin o/head cam...looks interesting. Could have trouble getting all that HP onto the road with those skinny CR65's.

Anyone ever seen one of these before? a Coldwell Engineering & racing waterslide transfer.

Looks to be genuinely old, and I doubt many were made. I Bought it off Ebay a month or two back and just found it in a pile of papers.....

Keeping it for the day the Mink comes back to me........

Nice T shirt 8-) well done.


I got a nice old JanSpeed sticker, its super thin, and sit between 2 pieces of paper.
Could have been nice with a T shirt with that logo.

You think I should have done a Beckham and posted the one I had taken of me climbing out a pool in my Jockeys????

OOOH, I'm thinking even without a car I should get down to the trackday!
