We'd chatted about the early S series Hondas some time back. Brother
send me this link, thought you might get a kick out of it. Started at
8:18 for me, if it starts sooner, that's where the S600 shows up.

Omigod. That is insane. I'm surprsed it makes such great hole shots.
It must be a bear to control, with the short wheelbase.

Thanks, Jon. That's fun.

The "wheelbarrow handles" are a CRITICAL component on that
super-buggy to keep the front wheels close to the ground!!!

That baby is QUICK!!
reminds me of a '47 or 48 Topolino with a Pontiac HO that was
running around at the street nats in Tulsa in '76.

IIRC it held track records at Riverside and Laguna Seca as well as
Solo, as well as Bonneville for it's class.

A "multi-discipline" true "sporting car"

When he said "jump" it didn't even stop to ask "how high?"

And it was "street legal" in California at the time.

Late 70's, the family is headed to LA down 101. On a long straight
stretch, doing about 65, this black Topolino blows by us like we're
standing still. I'd guess at least 110mph. Not recognizing it, I asked
what it was. Dad replies it's a Fiat Topolino and adds dryly "And it
sure doesn't have the stock engine anymore".

That was the "italian Indian" Not sure if that's what he called it
- but that's what SOME called it.

Most just called it SCARY!!!!
Black full-fendered baby mouse with modified 428 RamAir3 "indian"
under the hood. At 110 he likely wasn't into high gear yet!!
