Sounds like a frighteningly equipped Bedroom ... :shock:
So it's going to be bouncy-bouncy from now on Huh ?? :D

Well I'm glad you finally got one ... is it possible to modify them with bouncy hydraulics but keep it street-legal ?? :roll:

I thought it would be nice to still have an option of it as a road car, in the end !

:D ...Just the Very Thing to Frighten Traffic-Wardens half to death if they try to put a ticket on it and it hops up and down !!

Specially if it lifts a wheel and p*sses up-and-down their leg !

Even though I'm not putting hydraulics on mine (I'm too much of a wimp and I don't have the cash or ability), I'd love to see some of the tech behind it.

I know you are in a club Alisdair where you get support and help, some of us aren't so lucky.

so any close up tech pics of the old one or build photos of the new one, post em here please. I think a lot of use are interested.

Cheers mate

That's the way it works! You learn from others, add your own experiences and pass it on to the next one.

It's what the tech forums are all about.
