Ultra low & cool V8 Landy was at the Ace Cafe last night. We caught up with it in a service station on the A40, on his way home to Gloucester.

I can not believe it, I actually saw this drive past my place of work in Taunton on Wednesday 06 May. I just happened to be down the bottom of the carpark taking part in our "scrap heap challenge" trying to retrieve 2 parts from an old machine down there and I'm positive that this is what I saw and thought it looked quite cool.  |

Small World ain't it.
We thought the owner would be freezing driving all that way home in an open cab, but he showed us how hot the floor was. Apparently the controls end up so warm he has to drive by his fingertips.

There's me, asking him if he thinks he could piece together a write-up on it for the website & we'd get it online for him & he turns out to be a professional journalist -d'oh!

Not holding our breath, but would be nice. We get a success rate of about 1 in 10 for the people we try & blag write-ups from.

Looks like a motorised skip to me.
For someone with motoring press background I would expect something a notch better.
This could be bloody outrageous as a lowrider concept, taken forward.
Yeah, it's supposed to be minimalist.
It just has the minimal amount done to exist.
The powerplants (what's in it?) and space you have to play with let's the imagination run riot.
BUT
for all the grizzlin', it's a wheeze.

Well I am.
I just don't warm to this.
I've had a few Landies and chopped some motors about n stripped out as much as you can legally get away with...alrite, I'll concede...
It's exciting stuff.
