Madman Of The People Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 11 September 2013 A-Team Van update! In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem...if no one else can help...and if you can find them...maybe you can hire...The A-Team! . garethj and michiel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cort16 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 At least that A-Team van's the real deal. Here they're usually lashed up out of old Day Vans with the stripe going over the window on the side or shagged out smiley faced Ford Transits.

PhilA Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 8th October 2013 update! The world's last running (Well, I think it still runs, anyway?) Chevrolet Chevette. There's a beige one not far from here that's just had its' engine out, they've pumped the tires up and given it a wash. I think we might be in for a Chevette Resurruection. It even has the appropriate red-lead primer daubed on with a paintbrush around the arches. --Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madman Of The People Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 I saw this thing pulling out of a gas station and had no idea what it was. Turns out it's a Phantom Pharaoh, an ersatz Rolls Royce built around a Lincoln Town Car. According to Jalopnik, it's one of only 20 made before the fibreglass moulds were destroyed. Should have destroyed them sooner, it you ask me! http://jalopnik.com/for-49-900-bling-in-the-new-year-1491648395 .. cort16, Junkman and Skizzer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike60 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Good stuff, particularly like the Corvair. Good to see the 164, I used to have one which was probably the thirstiest car I've owned and I've had a few shockers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, nobody will care. A few enthusiasts have retrofitted Euro-spec bumpers to their E21s and early E30s, which had similarly hideous bumperage.

Vin Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 That UK spec Fiat 500 came from Belfast. A chap called Jim Magill took it over for Fiat Freakout 2008. They drove it from New York to San Francisco. It's now in Lane's motor museum. http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/29/fiat-500-makes-trek-across-america/ Another resident of the museum is the Panda 4x4 (E505 JPY known as Juppy) that Jim also drove across America. He first did the America thing in a 1991 Panda 1000S and has also taken over a Fiat Multipla. All for the Fiat Freakouts.
