De-tuned Engine

[the Ferret]

I remember the 2 stroke Saab cars. Hardly anyone believes they even existed when I mention them. I was working in a Sohio station ( now BP) and a guy came in with one. Asked me to fill it up, pour a can of oil he had in the gas tank, then jump up and down on the bumper to mix it up. That was in 1965 ish. I was riding a 50cc 2 stroke Aermacchi badged harley at the time, so I was familiar with the two stroke pre mixing ritual, but had never seen it in a car before. It had to be explained to me that Saabs were from Sweden and drove good in the snow.
