The Dude

Hi Guys I actually run a facebook page dedicated to car Movies, I own loads of them, including loads most people haven't seen, Can I suggest some of those maybe, Like Fear Is the Key, or The Hi Riders? Has everyone Seen The Wild Angels? Needless to say I'm super keen for Vanishing point, how about Christine? that would be cool on the big screen. Count me in totally for this, I'm super happy to help out in any way I can.

Yeah dude come and save it please Open til 7 for ya!

Guys I know we're not supposed to post here, but I've just taken this car into Zebra for wrecking, and basicly I don't want to wreck it. Anyone keen to come in and save it see me at Zebra, or PM me. Seems a real shame under 100k from new, very light frontal

Hi Guys I think I just took this in to Zebra, anyone up for saving it, or need any parts? Ultra mint., light frontal, still has the oldschool sticker, and an awesome set of 13" Zona's seems a shame

No Worries dude A-Ok by me, plenty of room in the Jag

I'm so there dude, will bring the Daimler to work on that day!

Oh yes they handled awesomely So I thought back then anyway, The Moostang is getting Shackled up as we speak, so I can fit some unfeasibly wide Appliance wheels, and some Massive Patriot sidepipes, is NZ compliance going to have a heart attack at this?

Yeah Fizzies are super rare, because we all had them at 16 and got rid of them at 17, so in 10 years a bike had 10 owners! 10 sixteen year old owners, who had never ridden anything before, and If I was anything to go by, thought they were Evil Kinevel. Trust me when I say this, even a cape won't save you from gravity Most were fully destroyed by ten years old, and the few survivors are worth good gold, because all of us around back then have fond 16 year old memories of them. I'd love to have one and a B100p, or a BLOOP to most sitting in the Garage (I've got two Suzuki GP100's already), and lets not get started on RD400 Coffin tanks and KH 250,350,500 and death on a stick 750 two stroke triples, the only difference between a good one and a bad one, was one ran, the other didn't, if it rattled it was either in perfect condition, or F$@ked if it was quiet it was either in Perfect condition or F@#ked, the only way to tell was to buy it, and if it made it home it was probably a good one

Actually yours is the much rarer Sixteen Special released in 73, they then changed the name to the Fs1e or Fizzie as everyone remembers them, as Honda had the rights to SS50 if I remember right, most of the early Fizzies had pedals to make them moped compliant, but they would do a ball buzzing 60mph or 100kph on the speedo, doing that was certainly the way into an early grave tho, as the lights were 6v candle powered things. I had soooooooo much fun on these things, it was all you could ride at 16 (you could drive at 17) 25 quid and someone in the pub would hand you the screwdriver to your own set of extremely cheap wheels, usually some extremely run down early Fizzie that you had to rebuild twice a month

Go restore it, they were awesome when they were new, I'm pretty sure there are hardly any left, I blew most of them up as a kid If you ever sell it let me know

Something like this? I think you would have to wear some uber cool 80's half tint sunglasses too, as you blast into the sunset http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIpfWORQWhU

I really do have a shed full of Marina bits, PM me if you need something, I've even got a complete rolling Mk2. The Ital is soooooo much more than your standard Marina, better gearing, redesigned suspension, Proper shock absorbers for the front, anti roll bars, Feels as different to as mk 1 Marina, as the model T Ford does to an X wing fighter.

Hmm now I've had about 20 Marina's even the superballistic 1.8 TC and I can't really say they were known for their handling ability Understeer V Oversteer Thinking about it tho you did have to be a hell of a driver to keep them on the road My 1.3 Van was an awesome thing of beauty and that handled great! (no weight over the front end) Does anyone want any Marina bits? I've got a shed full.

I love it!!! I want and covet old 911's, and soon they will be way beyond the prices they now command, maybe the finest drivers car ever produced?

It was for the lovely Translator I put on my clean T shirt and had a shave The Moosetang still lives in Bakersfield at the moment as I had to collect some bits, and do a little work before shipping her back. Wait till you see my sidepipes

Dammit I was coming, but my housemate managed to throw away the keys to my Daimler, 4 hours of searching later they turn up in the paper for the fire box! GRRRRRRRRR See ya at the next one.

Oh before I forget, check out my old Transit fire engine, its an article on a German Website (internationally famous me But you'll get the idea http://www.ff-muenchberg.de/allgemeines/berichte-wehr/charliesafari.html

Mate you should drop by and have drive of it, and the Gran Torino, might get you into a little American Muscle

The Mustang will be here soon, and I shall be enjoying its Sweet V8 burble, legal, or not legal

Hmm 8k for a ratty old Escort "RV" what ever that means or 3K for a 73 Mustang Fastback with 54,000 miles, now let me think about that

Mmm I'm in the process of buying half an Escort van can I join

Nice van, and some nice looking work your doing. Panel in the windows, they look so much better

Yeah What he says! Can't believe he didn't box the crossmember! The rad can definitely sit a little closer to the front too and its a 1300 one. Hows the quality of the sump conversion, cut and shut? Or alloy one?

No Worries brother, Will do!

Hmm have you thought it might be an 1100??? rare but there were some around?
