I am also fascinated by badges... ONe of my favorite is the Messerschmitt RSM (eagle) badge. I also love the bonnet "sculptures" but there not on many micros (if any).

Dont like the Nobel one that much, its too "boring"!

I attached a pic of my version of the Nobel, since I dont have a good pci of the Nobel badge.

Well actually I thinks this IS the ideal badge for this forum, isnt that what most of us do? Dismantle them and never put them back together?  :(

The Powerdrive badge has got to be one of the best, a whacking great lions head!

Why the AC badge on a Peel with a Honda motor?
Sure looks different than my Petite's badge.  Is it from an AC Invalid Carriage?
Have you run your pretty P50 much yet?  What is it like to drive?

Secretly I think it is because it is made of AC Delboy parts (our name for AC Delco pattern parts) rather than genuine Peel bits, like bent nails and bits of socket sets (you think I am kidding!). Looks suspiciously like a Delboy seat and a few lights coming in from Trottersville there. However I do know why the badge is on this car but you will have to await the official announcement.

I am pleased to say like all good home builds this car does feature a limited amount of Dexion. What would we do without it? I even had a Schmitt with structural Dexion in it. We popped into Junky Haynes on the return from a bit of serious ICR spotting near Heathrow-up Airport and a new topic Capt Maurice Seddon, which is gestating at the moment. Root lived up to his name by disappearing under a pile of scrap cars to re emerge with various grubby items. After discovering that these were, in fact, his boots he went back in to collect the aforementioned dexion while I embroidered this story sat in a pile of NOS Ford parts wondering if there was anything useful other than the Ford Ponce GTX offroader (the one designed not to go off road but with spray on dirt) special edition footballers accessory handbag in which I found the stitching set just used. I like Capt Seddon.

...while I embroidered this story...



nurse please !


 It got even more intresting later on as Fritz Fend & even Herbie's triplets gets involved too.  ;)   (Note; To all those who think the above is pure lunacy, in actual fact it is all true, did all take place, and does all inter-relate with everything else. The ICR has indeed been busy down by Heathrow these past few days, but a little while longer must pass before the whole story can be told...)
