ʻO kaʻu Austin FX3
He aha nā moʻolelo hiki iā ia ke haʻi? ʻO ka odometer o kēia 1956 Austin FX 3 hōʻike "92434 mile (148,758 km)", ka hapa nui o ia i hoʻokele ʻia ma ke kaʻa kaʻa ma Lākana a hiki i 1971 i ka wā i lawe ʻia ai i waho o ka lawelawe.
Ua kūʻai ʻo Rolls-Royce engineer ʻo Rainer Keissling i kahi kaʻa i ka makahiki 1971 no ka £120 (ma kahi o $177) a lawe iā ia i Kelemania, kahi āna i noho ai. A laila lawe ʻo ia i Australia i ka makahiki 1984 i kona neʻe ʻana me kona ʻohana.
"He aloha wale nō ʻo ia i nā kaʻa waina," wahi a Chris, kekahi o kāna mau keiki kāne ʻekolu. "I kēlā me kēia manawa i hele ai ʻo ia i ʻEnelani ma kāna ʻoihana, hoʻi mai ʻo ia me nā ʻāpana ʻokoʻa, e like me ka mīkini hoʻomaka i kāna ʻeke."
I ka make ʻana o kona makuakāne ma kahi o ʻelima mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hāʻawi ʻia ke kaʻa i kāna mau keiki kāne ʻekolu, ʻo Rainer, Christian a me Bernard, a ua lawe lākou iā lākou iho e hoʻihoʻi i kona kūlana mua.
"Aia ʻo ia i loko o ka hale paʻa a hāʻule mālie," wahi a Keisling. “ʻAʻole hiki iā Pāpā ke hana i kekahi mea e pili ana i ia mea no ka mea ua hemahema kona olakino.
"No laila ua lawe mākou iā mākou iho e hoʻihoʻi. ʻO kahi liʻiliʻi, hoʻoponopono mākou a lawe i ke kūlana hana.
Aia nō ʻo Caseling i ka ʻoihana ʻenekinia, e like me kona makuakāne, no laila ʻo ka hapa nui o nā ʻāpana ʻokoʻa i loaʻa ʻole i hana ʻia e ia, a hiki i ka hoʻokele hoʻokele.
ʻO kekahi o nā hana nui loa ʻo ia ke pani i ka "Prince of Darkness" kaulana ʻo Lucas Electric.
"ʻAʻole lākou i hana pono i ka hoʻomaka ʻana, akā i kēia manawa ua hana maikaʻi lākou," wahi a Keisling. "Ua hoʻohana mākou ma waena o $ 5000 a me $ 10,000 e hoʻihoʻi hou i nā makahiki. He paʻakikī ke haʻi i ka nui o kā mākou lilo. He mea ia o ka makemake, ʻaʻole ke kumu kūʻai."
ʻO ke kumukūʻai o kēia manawa aia ma $15,000 a i $20,000. “He paʻakikī ke ʻike i ka waiwai kūpono. ʻAʻole ia he mea kakaʻikahi, akā nui kona manaʻo. " Ua hoʻohana nā kaikunāne i ke kaʻa i ka male ʻana o ka ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha, ʻo Chris a me kāna wahine ʻo Emily.
"Maikaʻi loa ʻo ia i ka hoʻokele," wahi āna. E like me nā kaʻa kaʻa ʻo Lākana, huli nā huila mua ma kahi o 90 degere, hāʻawi iā ia i kahi pōʻai huli liʻiliʻi o 7.6m i hiki iā ia ke kūkākūkā i nā alanui haiki o Lādana a me nā wahi kaʻa liʻiliʻi, akā ʻaʻohe ona mana hoʻokele.
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona kūikawā ʻo ka Jackall i kūkulu ʻia i loko o ka hydraulic jacking system, e like me ka ʻōnaehana ma luna o ka papa i hoʻohana ʻia i nā supercars V8. Aia pū kekahi mechanical interlock e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻonui lima i nā jacks.
Ua lako ka FX3 me ka traction-operated mechanical drum brakes a ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia mai nā axles paʻa e nā puna lau. ʻO ia ke kumu hoʻohālike mua me kahi kaʻa kaʻa kaʻawale a me ka pahu. Ma hope o kahi noho noho me ʻelua mau noho hoʻokahi i hope.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Caseling ua kāpae ʻia ka mīkini kaʻa mai ka lawe ʻia ʻana mai ka lawelawe ʻana, akā ua hoʻopili hou ʻia i kēia manawa e hoʻokele i ka mika, ʻo ia ka helu ʻeonopence i kēlā me kēia a me ka hapakolu o ka mile. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he "maikaʻi loa ka hoʻokele waiwai no ka mea he diesel haʻahaʻa-revving" a ʻo ka wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe o ke kaʻa he 100 km/h.
"ʻAʻole wikiwiki ia, akā maikaʻi ka traction i ka mea mua a me ka lua," wahi āna. "He mea paʻakikī ke hoʻokele me ka ʻole synchromesh i ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa a me ka ʻole o ka hoʻokele mana, akā ke loaʻa ʻoe i ke kaula o ia mea, ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa."
