Looks great... fancy making a reverse-trike?


NS Dev - 14/1/11 at 06:55 PM

There's not much I'd say no to building, reverse trikes included


scootz - 14/1/11 at 07:00 PM

We need to talk!

My dad used to have one of them, quite liked it

What engine is that in there? Looks bigger than the 600cc lump they normally come with


scootz - 14/1/11 at 09:09 PM

It's a dry-sumped TTS Blackbird lump with a Rotrex supercharger and methanol injection!

Unfortunately not Rob!

We now have 1 employee in addition to me and my bro, but we won't be taking on any more until we're actually paying ourselves something!!

Looks good, if only I had the space....

Nat,

You and Callum truly inspire me! I have a huge amount of respect for you two;

a - for following your dream,
b - having the confidence to start up bang in the middle of a recession, and
c - making such a great success of it!

Your website lifts my spirits. It's like a big boys toy shop!
There really are no limits are there? Makes me want to buy something specifically for you guys to fettle.

Prices - I guess if I have to ask about price then I cant afford it, but perhaps you could give some indicative ball park budget examples - say for restoring a mini like the pink one (just not quite so pink)? (U2U me if you prefer) "In the final pic you can see the nail varnish we had to match the colour to."


Fantastic

Thanks very much Dave! Really nice to read praise!! The success is due in no small part to the patience and support of my missus (Bec) who pretty much pays the bills at home ands puts up with me working 12 hours a day!! We got married last year as well so it was a busy one in 2010!! Really looking forward to this year and some awesome projects (we have 2 manta 400s and 2 ascona 400s booked in this year! )

will send u2u re. costs

cheers

Nat
