I was talking to the mechanic at the local bike shop the other day and he told me about a Bedford Rascal type van in the area with a Yamaha R1 engine in the back. He says it looks like it was designed for the job.

yours, Pete.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an Kitten fly.

I saw a front porch swing, heard a diamond ring,
I saw a polka-dot railroad tie.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an Kitten fly.

I seen a clothes horse, he r'ar up and buck
And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck
I didn't see that, I only heard
But just to be sociable I'll take your word

I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat
And I just laughed till I thought I'd die
But I'd be done see'n about everything
When I see an Kitten fly.

I've got a sierra with a rover 800 gearbox and pair of Tiger Avon lower wishbones in the back - does this count?

(The boot is great for storage until I break the car)

'The engine mount. The engine is mounted solidly to the chassis. This means that the engine can be used as part of the structure and that tolerances around the engine can be tighter as the engine will not move.'

Call me chicken, but I don't want to be around when that breaks away from the chassis...

Total nonsense

Hi guys,

Just had to post here, I have laughed for days over badgers, mushrooms and snakes. They all think I have lost it at work.

Does it matter

Thanks for the hun and steak and cheese, that got me a clip round the ear from errr in doors.

Keep up the good work and making this a very unique site, where blokes can really play.
