My leg!!!!

Postby transit jono » Fri Feb 24, 2006 12:50 pm

The leg is still plastered at the mo. going to have the full cast off next Tuesday at Ealing Hospital but won't be back on the road until the end of April so i CAN'T drive my beloved Hallmark or play with my other toys!Which now include a Cal look Beetle,1600e in bits,Dolomite sprint and a RAC log booked rally car.
Oh well the roads of West london are that little bit safer with me on crutches.Can't wait to drive again i REALLY miss it.

Carbon fiber is all very well but it's too delicate for me. A nice polished aluminium body that's the way to go. :D Super shiny!

I'd get a mk1 LWB twin wheeler, put a 3.1 essex in with triple webers,with a 5 speed, and high ratio rear end. gloss black with some turbo vec wheels and plenty of polished chrome and side pipes. I like the old skool custom theme plus you can work on it when it breaks
