Cricket. A gentlemanly game, played largely by standing around a village green for five days, after which sometimes it’s a draw. Still, it unites everyone in hatred of the Australians and it’s infinitely better than baseball.
Anyway, here’s a ‘gasser’ hot rod named after the pointless British game. Or a grasshopper. We’re not sure. Whichever it is, the ‘Noisy Cricket’ is an absurd concoction of Vespa 400 microcar and side-piped V8, created by the unhinged mind of Tim Inman, and it definitely wouldn’t take five days to finish anything.
The spindly suspension, front-mounted gas tank, and parachute pack out back are gasser drag strip deriguour, and you can step up to the crease at Tim’s photostream via the link above.
The article on the Noisy Cricket is a delightful exploration of this iconic weapon from the Men in Black series. Its compact design and surprising power make it a memorable part of sci-fi lore. The blend of humor and creativity in its portrayal adds to its charm. A fun read for fans of the franchise!
