Pretty nice collection you have there! would be quite nice with an early rod Closest i can come is one of my cars who has a V8 ;D keep posting and tell more about the engines if you have spec's especially if you have Chevy engines. cheers michael
Nice work. Like the Metro but then I've always had a soft spot for them (don't ask) And liking the Model A Ford. It's amazing that people cut a hole in the roof of a bus and get branded a sadist yet hot roders go totally OTT and people enjoy your work
Some very cool motors there dude, Love the Anglia 8), Gotta be the best thing done to a Metro, rather than crashing it ;D
I'd love to have popped to church on a Sunday in that Metro. The congregation would have thought it was the arrival of the second coming.
ha ha very good - I went shopping regular to Asda High Wycombe the looks were fantastic when i fired it up and burbled and hopped out of the parking spaces - only room for one bag of shopping and at 4 to the gallon not cheap to run. But great fun
cheers for posting them up Dale, theyre great! I do like watching the old Outlaw Anglia's. Some of the workmanship thats gone into the builds is great as is the paintwork!
Wow big respect, i remember the metro when it was featured in Street Machine when i was a wee nipper, awesome motor mate.
Wow i dream of one day goin down the strip in a motor like one of those. Totally wicked very jealous.
The last pop was, I can assure you it was better than sex !!!! 0- 100mph in under 2 secs - just under 200mph at the top end - You know your alive
Had a go in the 2 seater rail at Santa Pod, totally mental acceleration, just on a different scale to anything a normal person can imagine, and that was still not as fast as your pop. Been skydiving and that was good but an 8 sec quater mile made skydiving seem like nothing, you just cant beat being hurled forwards at mental speed for an adreniline rush, you sure do know your alive.
Total respect to you dont think i could do that jumping out of plane stuff - I want to have a go in a National Banger that looks good
Got mates who banger race, that is proper remove your brain stuff. Driving into someone at 50mph goes against all self preservation and it can bloody hurt. Hope you get to have a go mate its mad.
Liking the pictures from when you could stand behind the start and get blasted by the jet car at the pod, old skool dayz. No doubt health and safety put a stop to this.
