hippys progressed to velcro flaps by now


Metal Hippy - 9/12/03 at 02:25 PM

No, even you're behind the times Tim.

I left velcro straps behind weeks ago. I can tie my shoes now.

But they keep coming undone


Mark H - 9/12/03 at 02:42 PM

So, you've dumped the beemer bodywork and built the chassis then, Richard?!!


Metal Hippy - 9/12/03 at 02:43 PM

Who asked you Harrison?


mackie - 9/12/03 at 03:21 PM

Oooh oooh. On saturday we will post artistically angled pictures of our engine too!
It's a bit of a beast, yours. How does it compare in size and weight to a 4.2 Jag?

not progressed to double knots then

and you even missed the obvious flaps gag i bet alan b wouldn't have


Metal Hippy - 9/12/03 at 03:30 PM

Ahhh, now if you'd have just said flaps the joke was obvious. Velcro flaps must be painful on the old wossname...

I dunno how the Beemer engine compares to the old 4.2 Jag Mackie, I'd guess the Jag is bigger as the Beemer engine is only 3430cc... I'll get Liam to measure up theirs if they still have it. Measurements of the Beemer are in my photo archive if you wanna see


stephen_gusterson - 9/12/03 at 04:28 PM

can you post a pic of it in the chassis so we can see how good it looks?

by tomorrow would be fine

ChrisW - 9/12/03 at 05:04 PM

How did you take the pic of the engine then?

Chris


Metal Hippy - 9/12/03 at 05:07 PM

Metal Hippy - 10/12/03 at 12:56 AM

Just had one, why?


Ben_Copeland - 10/12/03 at 08:35 AM

You pay for petrol, and i'll bring the jet wash


Metal Hippy - 12/12/03 at 04:39 AM

If it's powered by a jet engine I'll swap it for the 3.5....
