Title: Re: Just to get the taste buds going Post by: Manky Monkey on November 14, 2006, 10:42:04 AM I love pick ups! Used to run a matt black Moggy Minor truck with a 1600 Twin cam motor -really should've kept it.
The cream one with the French flathead engine belongs to one of our Merchandise models I think. If not, it's very similar, though not sure it's the same grille. Check the Merchandise page of the main site -he's wearing one of the brown T shirts & leaning on his truck. Glynn's beautifully ugly, (!), rustbucket was at the HotRod Drags a few months back at "Shakey", (Shakespeare County Raceway, formerly Avon Park). There's a few snaps of it in my photo gallery. Didn't think it was registered for the road -how the hell does he get it MOT'd? but I passed it on my way home. Luvverly.

Title: Re: Just to get the taste buds going Post by: Manky Monkey on November 14, 2006, 10:54:54 PM Number 5? Definitely the real thing!
Title: Re: Just to get the taste buds going Post by: BikerGran on November 14, 2006, 11:11:21 PM Only asked cos I've seen a bike or trike with rusty paintjob, looked very much like that!
Title: Re: Just to get the taste buds going Post by: Manky Monkey on November 14, 2006, 11:19:22 PM Faux rust. Yeah, it's very much the "in" thing in rodding at the moment. Can look very cool on the right vehicle -implies it's been found in a barn somewhere, dragged out & driven just as it is. Takes a lot of effort to make it look that tatty!

Do they have annual MOTs? Our testers would have a heart attack if you turned up in that. Pretty cool though. Like the first & second ones.
