Wonder what he keeps under the bonnet?

A V8?

the robin hood you are talking about is a rhm1000, i have one of the 7 i know they made (maybe more) mine had a 1275 lump in the back from a metro, was a bit like driving a rotorvator, attacked it with a saw and an agle grinder now its got a fzr1000 in the front and mk scuttle bonnet and nose.

Oh no , i've been impressed by a Robin Hood!!!


serendipity123 - 28/9/05 at 09:08 PM

well just for you i've made the back end of my bec hood look pritty for you, well its not like your going to see the front that much

It's OK to be impressed by something impressive. Keep an open mind or end up like the Cornish County Councillors who said on banning the film 'The life of Brian'
' Of course we banned it. No we haven't seen it. We wouldn't wan't to go and see such blasphemous filth'

HMMM
Now put another engine in front, match the ECUs and that could be quick.

I seem to remember an article in CCC about a twin engined Lo-something

Neat !

Do that with a bike engine and then you'd have awesome performance and a huge amount of luggage space where the engine would normally go.
