Modern Commer Replacement

[Steve Pyro]

Welcome back Mark.

Hmmmm, Norfolk - Marham then? or maybe Coltishall.

Changed that MG engine for a V8 yet?  

[Steve Pyro]

You couldn't really camp in it, but looks a bit of fun, and it's got a proper engine


VEE EIGHT

Bloody Hell Steve, how fast do reckon that goes?

The rider looks rather pleased with himself, and a little bit San Francisco if you ask me. The bicycle clips are a give-away...

  I hadn't noticed that.

Apparently, if you're a bit handy with the clutch, the 'wheel' stays still and you shoot round like a hamster in his little plastic wheel.

Hi Steve, Thanks for the mental picture of the Hamster trick I was just thinking it might be a bit of a hand full in a cross wind.

Steve,

        Thanks - the former rather than the the latter, so the wonderful sound of RB 199s in reheat and the smooth sound of Avons from the Canberras.   As to re-engining, 'fraid not - looking to find an early MGB 3-synchro gearbox with overdrive though, as that is pretty much a straight swop for the original and gives a much better/higher cruising speed without sounding as though one is in the middle of a kettle drum....

Good to see you back Mark, you've been missed.

PS I know that kettle drum noise intimately!

A bit flash for my liking  


This is more my cup of tea, and a bargain at 100 English Pounds as I recall.

At least we're currently sticking to 4 (ish) wheels and variations on campers and motorhomes.

But if it's a tangent you want

Apparently this is Coulthard's Motor home - wonder if it will be in Maison Blanche!!
