VERY NICE PICS , BUT I WOULD NEED ALOT MORE BHP TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT :lol:

AND CANT AFFORD TO BE RELACING TYRES AT THE MOMENT

What a childish thing to do!!! :roll:

Thats just the sort of thing that, ...................................................... I will be doing as soon as my van is on the road!!! :twisted:

and valsheda is you havent got enough bhp, a bit of old engine oil usually does the trick!!! :lol:

Ideal for old tyres old tyres!!! :lol:

somehow i dont think my mk1 is up to dooing that! :lol:

it was all done in 2nd gear with 3.00:1 diff gears at about 90kmh smoked out the whole street :twisted:

Its easy to do just put heaps of pressure in the tyres and a pair of vice grips on the rubber brake line

But dont blame me if your engines internals decide to ummm vacate :lol:

this is why i never do this sort of thing i am the one that will be picking up the bigends with a dustpan and brush! :lol:

YOUR NOT ALONE THERE MARK , I KNOW FOR A FACT WITH THE SORT OF LUCK I HAVE , I WOULD BE JOINING YOU WITH THE DUSTPAN AND BRUSH SAYING OHHHH F**K THAT LOOKS EXPENSIVE :lol:

AAAAARRRRGH!!!! Call out the RSPCT (Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Transits!!!!)

Loved the pics just the same, wouldn't do it with any of our, though.........

its ok fred no harm done

The old 250ci engine will take a fair dose of punnishment as will the toploader box and 9" diff

I really think she liked destroying the nasty japanese tyres and showing the world that shes more than just a delivery van

Plus this is just a small tast of things to come, im taking her to the Van Nationals at Easter and will be frying the tyres untill the suckers blow (about 3min) and it will all be on a vid for you viewing pleasure (or horror)

Madmark i can get reproduction lights over here but i dont like the look of them
My lights used to be painted with red and yellow house paint but i soaked them in thinners and turned them clear and installed coloured globes
