    I bet it's dead rickety and awesome, and when you tap the peddle the back steps out beautifully.

    I bet it's the most fun thing to drive this side of a tank.

    its the scariest funniest most enjoyable thing ive ever driven!

    Its so tail end happy, when you give it some beans its just an animal but driving slowly its quite comfy.

    when you are giving it beans tho my mind tends to wonder when this little pretty animal is gonna kill me! lmao

    Long time coming but will be back on the road this week!

    I did 60 miles back in 2007 and the rear wheel sheered off smashing the arch in half.... i lost interest and it went back in the garage.

    Got it out last week and got it sorted for mot

    Failed MOT sat on rear lights wiring.

    More pis to come
