While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

Once upon a time, The Locomotives up here used to shoot out fist-sized pieces of molten carbon. Randomly starting small bushfires.
Its no suprise that a piston would blow out of one of these. Working in the Railways causes you to see some interesting things. Gotta love GM...

Wow. Just wow.
That would have scared the hell out of me.
Does anyone know how far the piston travelled to hit the roof?
I've heard of gear boxing someone but thats crazy
