The Ford was driven by Gary Le Fever aged 70 and has 100bhp and the Hummer H2 was driven by Thomas Effinger and has 316bhp.

The result might surprise you (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/shame.gif)

It was a hill climb.
I wouldn't choose an H2 to do a hill climb - at least not a timed one. (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/wink.gif)
Maybe a bit surprising that a Model T was quickest of all, but not *that* amazing.

Its transmission, wheels, chassis, frame and radiator all came from 1921. But it also had some non-original parts, including Model A cranks and rods, an overhead valve unit built for 1920s dirt-track racing and dual carburetors from the 1930s.

Hat's off to the guy.

Sounds like a true period racer, there. (http://mkb-cc.yanksrule.co.uk//Forum/smileys/worship.gif)

Hummers are hyped up shite anyway.
