When I was young, in my teens, I had a very strange psychiatric disorder. You see at the time I was engrossed in F1, Le Mans and Ferrari 250LMs, a perfectly respectable interest for a 15 year old, I was also secretly grooving to US hot rods - something only coarse and common boys were into. It is hard to imagine how different these two categories of vehicle were. I have to confess that this split personality, this automotive schizophrenia, has never quite left me.
So it was with quivering excitement that I read the story in Autoblog of the Blastolene V12 Peterbilt hot rod. What a machine, what a concept, what a name, wowee! Such a fantastical concoction so beautifully made couldn't help but stir the blood. So see for yourself....isn't it quite something!
