Some nice machines in there Nomad. Nice locations too. You obviously put some mileage under those wheels. So when do we get some write ups on them for the site then?  |

Its a Mini based Stimson Trek. It had four wheels unlike its predecessor that had a single rear wheel, the Stimson Scorcher. Barry Stimson let me build the first fully working prototype, pictured. I kept it for ten years and sold it to someone who kept it for about 8 years and I rebuilt it for him to sell. I took the purple Mini to Holland for a mini Treffen and he took the Trek. See, that was nearly a write up  |

You don't get off that lightly my friend! Nearly a write up but not quite. Which would you say was your favourite? Are you simply a very enthusiastic ammateur or were you involved in a business in some way to have so much transport passing through your hands? And when do we get the write up on the Chevy? |

What a fabulous machine! Brock's looking for a cool pit bike to take to drag meets at the moment. That'd be ideal!
More! Give us more! -You do realise I expect full features on each one now don't you?

Hi Yoda, it was actually a Dakar, based on a shortened Range Rover chassis.
Rotax is Suzuki, no?
It was safer than a rangey because the C of G was lower.
It was however all together colder and wetter (I only fitted the top roof section so no doors)
