Frankenstein Bond?
« on: April 03, 2013, 10:29:41 AM »
Seller states it's 8ft long and was trying to model it on an 'A', though the description also states the engine drives a single rear wheel, hmmm...

Bond Mk A meets Monkey Bike means Macaque doesn't it?

And from the home of dodgy motors too, I see.

Next I am going to build a replica of a Bugatti Atlantique out of a of dead giant tortoise called Cyril, a BMX Bike and 6 cylinder Gardner engine using a V5 for an Austin Atlantic.

I love it, eBay brings you everything if you wait long enough and I needed a giggle

In this case I have to agree with Al, this Essex man appears to be a lunatic although by most accounts, especially from my American sources the real home of dodgy motors used to be a small village in Oxfordshire. ;)

I live in what was the capitol of England and held the line until the Danelaw, protecting you East Anglians amongst others. Coo, stone me what a rabble (that's Saxon, that is). Not sure what Village they are talking about but there is a Farringdon in Hampshire which is a village with Microcar connections.

Which leads to the very worrying fact that our air sea rescue service has been sold to America.

'Hello. Hello. yes that is right were go in on Eddystone'

'Gee, is that near Nashville?'

'No its off The Lizard and Start Point'

'Yeah, Nashville, on the strip'

'No its in the sea off Devon'

'Oh, shit man! We cannot go out there.  The winds is blowing and Health and Safety will not let Ralph get wet. Tell you what if we send a cruise missile and blow the crap out of little ol' Eddy there, would that do'?

Britain has gone bonkers and a great reward for our pilots to come home after serving in Afghanistan etc. to find some Americans have got their next jobs. P45 anybody? By the way what do we do for quality helicopter pilots when the Argies re invade the Falklands? Roll out the navy with a radio controlled Swordfish on an Avon dinghy? Might as well have Faringdon as Capitol of Britain for all the worth this lot of numbties are worth.

Sorry got bored this afternoon.

Odd advert for all reasons stated. Will one of the happy band in that area be tempted to view it?

A wealth of projects and ideas. Managed to get V5s on stuff too. I particularly like the Berk/Reliant that has been restored by Alien. It just burst out of the engine through the bonnet there.

Hmmm   Lifting section and base of a Peel Trident fiber glassed together because they were a bad fit? I wonder who made it in the first place? Wouldnt it have been better to cut and shut it until it did fit?

Well the man has created a load of scrap a complete waste of what were probably restorable cars
