200 in 2000
/We’re a bit ashamed to admit this, but we just found the video below documenting Jim & Sheila Tillers attempt to run their ‘Old Fella’ J2 #1784 200 mph at Bonneville in 2000. The footage was well shot by Sheila on her hand held camcorder with commentary/banter provided provided by her colorful husband…with a guest appearance by Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame. Overall the documentary was very informative, interesting, and entertaining. I have no doubt that Sydney would have approved of the Tillers Bonneville adventure and their many modifications to their trusty J2.
I wonder where I can get one of those ‘Wacky Racers’ shirts with the Tillers J2 on it…
