Jarrod

Haha, Feggin' posites....Always late !!  ;D

Jarrod

We must have missed you at the meet as we would have remembered your bike and the red leathers  ;D

   I like that flake, I would have liked to use it on the new race car but we are not all in agreement, it did send me off to browse the HOK site though, itchy fingers now, must get on with the body soon. Chequer tape's something I haven't seen for a while too, oh, and Hi

Hiya Jarrod  ;)
Bugger, last again. Welcome to our little corner of webbydom mate. Basingstoke's fast becoming the hub of the custom World isn't it. All part of our long term plan for World domination. Are you the mechanic we chatted to when we last visited Jason? It'd be nice to have someone here who actually knows what they're talking about! Taz & I only stumbled on the classic meet late in the day so missed a lot of the motors. Got any photos we can use?
Talking of which, it's my habit to nag the newbies, (one of my better habits), -so ...any chance of a few piccies & some words on the Fizzy?

Nice to have you aboard Sir.  ;D

welcome to da forum Jarrodm :)

Ahaaa,well i always knew Basingstoke might be good for something ONE day !!!

If you've been to jasons within the last 2 month's you will have met me, Theres only me and him no so you can't miss me :D I wasn't at the phoenix for too long becouse i was up till 6 in the morning and i was riding a hair dryer (wich is the most nickable machine ever!) And i didn't think to bring my camera,  but i wish i had done !

As for the fizzy, i hate new bikes with a passion so when it came to me being 16 there was no choice ! It's got all the cool little bit and pieces everyone wanted in the 70's including the ace bars ! I converted it to 12v at HUGE expense (the stupidest thing i've ever done !) so i've got lights that work ! Don't like Kenny roberts so i thaught i'd spray it metal flake ! And lets not forget YB100 power !!!!

Why do we always attract the nutters to this site? :P

just luck i guess  ;D

only selective nutters :)

oh no whatever have i done? letting Jarhead loose on you all, very sorry ;)

Is he really a jarhead ;D
It was a great film, was he in it? What part did he play. I'll keep a lookout for him next time I watch it. ;D

"Captinspannerfingers"......"Captaincakeandteafingers" Need i say more ?

Haha, someone in the office was giving me rather dirty looks !!! I don't think she's impressed  ;D But i would...

Jarrod

welcome welcome
bride or groom

mr jar head i do hope your not making reference to our not entirely unattractive cleaning girl,,,,,,,

Haha, Me !!!! Never.....

I'll stick to cars and bikes ! Just been throwing ideas around for the 550, So far (in my head) it's got a set of 4 into 4 manifolds with 9 inch reverse megas on the end, a box single seat, an aluminum tank, a brembo in line master cyliner and resoviour front brake lever, clip on's a 7 inch chrome head light with John Tickle brackets, a gauge plate with a smiths tacho' and speedo and a tiny little brake light..........

Haha Sad or whoot !

Jarrod

Welcome to Manky world! ;D
Thats not sad at all, Ive got a whole fleet of cars, bikes and trucks built in my head. Latest is a peterbilt tractor unit with a equally large pick up bed built for it. That one will have to wait a while!! 8)

What something like this...

(http://i13.tinypic.com/8gfr31f.jpg)

Jarrod

Yup, kinda like that! ;D But with the twin wheels at the back still. Maybe a HGV roadster pickup!

Nice ! I love having pictures of madly bastardarised motors on my Mac it's grrrrrrrrrreat !

This is GREAT possibly the best thig 'ive ever seen in my whole life EVER !

Jarrod

Now that I like!

Apparently the WOMAN who did it wanted to do the whole car, but it took her 6 months to do each wing top.

Jarrod

jar heed i can see your gonna fit in just fine,,,, manky you might need to get some more space on your web thingy cos my god that boy can talk, ive wired his jaw up to a dynamo and we are now major electricty suppliers to the whole of alton and surrounding areas

Ive been thinking about 3d flames for a while, but thats the first time ive seen them looking good!
As for the truck, I was looking for a green one a saw that had purple flames and the top chopped off it, but I cant find it so this will have to do. Imagine it with a pickup bed on it! 8)

Not hard! Most of 'em are still using candles and open fires!! ;D

Wow, theres like 10k in chrome on that front bumper !

As for Captaincakeandteahands i think your about right, if we could wire up a dynamo to my mouth we wouldn't need the mustang to jump everything ? I' likeing this at the moment J
