As I recall I first mentioned Brian in one of my Army days Posts.
I was stationed in Bloemfontein , and on a day pass met him there , I was 18 and Brian was a year younger than me.
He had a Kreidler Florett 50cc and lifted me around town on it, Still quicker than most other 50cc Bikes with only the Rider on it!
About a year after I came out of the Military, I met Brian again, he did an Apprenticeship and became a Motorcycle Mechanic.
When I started building the V8 engined Volkswagen , Brian was a frequent Visitor , very interested in what I was doing.

One day Brian turns up in a Sunbeam Tiger V8 an exciting car , probably a forerunner to the idea of the AC Cobra?
A somewhat modified Tiger
Brian became a real Guru on modifying and building Fast and unusual Cars and Bikes.
If you have been following My Adventures with modifying and building Vehicles ?, next to what Brian became I was an Amateur!
He did this FullTime and also introduced me to the magic of Gale Banks Motors.
I will be posting more on Brian in FuturePosts and reminding you where I have mentioned him before!

Thanks!
that video on the Sunbeam Tiger was a sleeper compared to your usual fast & furious vids. At any moment I expected him to lay rubber and see flaming tread marks all the way up the road. Maybe his wife thought that when she married him and decided to encourage him to buy the car to put a tiger in his tank, lol. She's a patient woman...
He built a car that was good for over 300KPH, watch this space?
I will, for sure ...wonder if he ever drove it at that speed, but if didn't care to, he could have let you take the wheel, lol
excellent post with useful information but last video of engine is so useful for ,my friend because he works on car shop thanks
Glad I could assist!

@resteemia
Thank You!
Wow very amazing life story of you @awgbibb
Thanka for sharing you experiences with us you had very cool life back then I see 😂, well I'm still young have the dream to join the military specifically military jet pilot.
There you shared some videos with amazing engine knowledge for the cars. Well to be honest I always get damn excited when talking about aircraft engines also jet engines hell yeah 😂 well I guess comparing to your knowledge I'm still a noob, you probably have a lot of experience in that, the idea of modifying cars and go for drifting really excites me so much.
Well I had a friend who was actually a mechanical engineer he gave me some knowledge of how automobile engines work and they could be modified we had some discussion together and he was asking me to be his team partner to open a company 😅 I said I will think about it since really have other things I wanna accomplish first.
Thanks dude for sharing all your experience with Brian, will be looking forward to your future posts on this topic. 😊
