Title: Island Fugitive
Post by: fugglededumm on September 07, 2016, 08:20:21 PM
Yep that makes 2 on this little isle.

Just acquired a Fug II VW based - for now. Only ever had 1 MOT previously, bought as a non-runner needs a bit of TLC.

Posting a re-build thread on the muddy forum, but it seems shiney has all the action at the moment! :)

Pick up day about 6 weeks ago..

"Got it in the best colour too!!"  :P

Can I suggest that with a sniping comment like that you securely strap on your tin hat and run for cover...   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Looking forward to seeing it get rebuilt. Always liked a sandrail.

Just read your thread on the Bajaclub forum - very cool project in entirely the best colour  ;)

If you do change the twin canons for something else and they are in good nick, stick them on the for sale section.   I could do with a cheap pair if they are in good condition to tide me over on mine until I decide what the overall plans are for it.

Indeed Dave. But as members of the 'chosen' colour sect we have to avoid gaining too much envious attention else one of the Moderators may consign us all to a remote corner of this web site....

I`m glad you mentioned "Envious" Hugh, as that term is always associated with "Green"   

Which we all know is the true colour of choice    :D

Which would turn green by itself over time if left    ;D

Will do though as the choice seems to be limited I will probably wait until I have fully explored the Meazle option. Meanwhile going to make some baffles.
