Other toy.....
 
Took my other toy out for the first time this year tonight!

Was just as quick as I remember! :D Took Julie's dad out in it for the first time, just to get some petrol. I think he liked the 0 - 60 test I did though as I left one junction, it was squirming a little!! :o :D

Like a motorbike on four wheels must be a good feeling.

Nice dude.... not to sure what I would want as an autmotive project... i've done the 'rebuild an obscure Jap bike' thing, do fancy an MOD issue light weight V8 SWB Landrover though....

I've been out in this and it is pretty cool.

The colour is very GAY however, almost as gay as wearing a plastic bra.

Can I come for a ride ? it looks ace. Dunt matter if its pink with flowers on, its still a mans car.

Is this a built-yer-self jobbie ? I always fancied such thing, but doing it outside my terrace house I think it would get tramps sleeping in it mid-build.

Imagine the setup board for that thing tho! can you adjust the camber angles ?

PaulRotheram 10-05-2006 08:39 PM

big plank of angled wood and a big wrench jimmy ;)

Northy 10-05-2006 09:15 PM

Yeah Jimmy, I built it! :D

Didn't you see it at last years York regional? Took Stu out and found an empty grass field to play in! :smile: I'll take you for a spin (wink, wink) in it if you want.

Yeah, can alter rear toe and camber, and front toe and camber. Could alter the front caster with an angle grinder! :o It's got adjustable shocks aswell that I've played with........ :cool:

Has been unofficially timed (by mi Julie) at 5.8 seconds to 60. That was before I fitted the Limited Slip Diff. It puts the power down much better now. :rolleyes:
