My Mk 6 got written off by an idiot..... hit up the rear whilst parked...

got a new Mk 7 now from insurance... gotta be happy about that!

They gave me a Feb 08 manufactured 140PS T330, painted the front and rear bars white for me, had to fit all the accessories as well!

Means I got a mid wheelbase instead of the shorty too!

wooden floor and marine carpet
Dual Battery and management system. (120Ah AGM).... yes.... that makes 3!
Tinted windows
L/H Side sliding window
2800Kg Towbar for the Huge trailer... pics to come
3 seater rear seat for the kids
Cargo barrier
Signwriting and alarm still to be done.

Had it 3 weeks now, already been sideswiped by a truck so booked in for repairs on the 21st. :(

Pics will come soon...

here they are... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=20762&l=28f59&id=668648788

hehe, I might use that when someone asks next time...

I build driving simulators for race car drivers to use for practice, and for corporates to use for teambuilding etc, there are 6 of them going in the trailer.

I'm also planning real soon (next project) to build a Birkin clubman, super 7 replica for those who don't know what that is ;)

I built the trailer myself at home... heres some progress pics if you're interested...
