That Daring Young Tali In Her Jaunty Jalopy...
An absolutely gorgeous collaboration by 
dreaddenimpirate (figure) and 
nauv (vehicle) of Tali out for a drive in her Stanley Steamer. I'd requested a pic of Tali done Sherlock Hound style, and these two more than delivered!

Actually since the two cylinder Stanley engines were double acting you might be surprised about the amount of torque it would have.
Unlike a gasoline 4 cycle engine which makes power on only one of those cycles, the Stanleys' make power on the up and down stroke.
So in the same time it takes a 4 cycle engine to go up, down, up and down and only make one power stroke, a Stanley will have gone up, down, up and down and created power on each.

I'm quite familiar with Stanley, White, and Doble steam cars. And double-acting, single-acting, single/triple compound, and simple steam engines, having grown up around my family's collection of steam traction engines.
You did fail to mention a typical steam engine's ability to produce 100% of its torque at 0 rpm - the Stanleys, and other steamers, would get up and go with a stab of the throttle, often leaving gas/distillate/kerosene powered cars of its era to eat dust. And steam.
Great cars, engineered well (enough), and very durable. What killed 'em was the length of time to get 'em started, the additional maintenance, and relative consumer ignorance of steam (dangerous in the wrong hands!).

love the steamer and how she's holding on in the wind- very sweet!
yep..and The Great Race, too

Well, 
bergil said she was planning sommat similar (see above)...
You should post your offer as a journal! :D

Bah! Stoopid vista not letting me complete the comment.
Anyway, love the amount of detail you did with the car and the character is totally going "WHEEEEEEEEEEEE~!!!" I always respect anyone who draw vehicles because its one hard thing to draw. plus the BG works really great too

Yep! She's my main character; been around for a quarter-century now...
