This looks interesting, any info on it. Looks like it has a Rover with similar headers to mine (reversed pattern though). Always fancied a tourer tub.

Oh my God!! My ex-husbands CF van Country Comfort - oh, he was so chuffed they stuck it in the middle!! I'm going to have to come out of the closet now.................

'86 it is, my old T is the red one in the first pic. Cheers!!

[Crossroads Speed Shop]

Great to see the Korzy Merc again, I'm also liking that Tub a lot Maurice. In fact what happened to both those T's? . Never seen either before.

L.P.

Nice, 26/27 fully fendered turtle decks have an appeal as well (oh alright, I like all Ts!), can't a guy have one vice?

Jimmy Aspinall's CF (VAN 1T) and Colin Brick's Capri are at the back, Alan Revell's candy Mustang is right at the front.

The red fendered 27 belonged to Billabong Bob Burgess ( on here ) and was sold to Denmark over 20 years ago although it appeared on the old site for sale a couple of yeras back ( still in Denmark ).

WOW that was a scary moment!!!! DC? who are you? My grey matter aint what it used to be!!

Nice to see the Crazy Horse Mustang that belonged to Geoff Broome amongst the pics. It was painted by Kenny Burkill, it was at his place where I built the T.

Bob.

[D COUPE]

The grey matter must be letting you down big style how many of your fellow Rodders went to the indoor Cleveland show. I bought a gearbox off you only last week....month... oh no about 10 year ago. And you have forgot me allready

One clue and one clue only Red Model A Hi boy!!

Think the van was a Citroen and it had a flip up body.
I have a photo of it from a show sometime in the mid to late 80's somewhere.

COOPERMAN!!!! how you keeping? Didn't realise you were still into the rod scene, what you driving these days? Are you still using that unit near Well Lane? BTW the warranty on that gearbox has expired!!!!

Dean, nice to hear you still have your car, have you made any changes from when I knew the car?

[D COUPE]

Good to see you have regained some sanity and returned to the Rodding. I will answer for Dean Hes done loads got loads done but is it any nearer???????

Have a couple of projects on the go. PK is still around.

Between us all the date we are all aiming for is BILLING 2010

Are you just lurking or are you back for good!!!!

DC (2010)

[billabong]

DC (2010)

Lurking at the moment but also dreaming!!! Time is the killer these days. What projects you and PK got going then?

[D COUPE]

I like to think we have been there done it still wearing the T shirt.

At the moment Im doing a S3 Etype roadster, then when thats done I have a little minter of a Pop to start. Pk has a Pop and his Husky van and Dean has allways has the Y he only lent it to somebody for 5 year then got it back a bit like Hertz rental fly drive !!!

Your T was for sale last year they said it had more or less been in a garage in Belgium since you tried to kill Tebbsy in it

I can see you back in it. It will allways be Billabong Bobs lol lol

Cheers for the info Dave. A couple of years ago a guy from Denmark who runs garage got in touch and was going through the motions of putting the T back on the road. Eventually he managed it and sent me some pics of it at a couple of runs. God knows where I've put the pics(grey matter again!!!) Is PK still at the same address?

[D COUPE]

Yes hes still at the same address just got a bigger garage. Have you seen Tebbsy?

Hes got a bit of a museum going in Donnie (sorry Mick). Where are you now?

DC

[billabong]

I'm still in Hemsworth but in a different house now Dave. I saw Mick has sold his 'Burb and was "looking at going in different direction" whatever that means. Not seen him in ages.

[D COUPE]

You know that means that He needs a little time out, its in the blood thats why we all come back to it !!!!!!!!!!

We need to meet up next year maybe? Are you looking or buying lol

DC

[hotrod1935]

hey guys
missed the conversation, been busy!! yes some times rodding dc!, hi bob ,dc is right, basically we are all still here a lot older but no wiser,certainly wider in my case LOL, more or less in the same places, but know what you mean re time and finding the energy for me is a big issue now a days, sat at a desk all day does not help. found these pictures of brunters in 87! well of yours and dc (and pk and me was there also), mine must have been the runt as i have yet to find a picture of mine on any website!
dean.m

[billabong]

Cheers for those pics. I never took enough pics either when building the car or when it was finished. At the time it didn't seem important but now every pic I see of the car makes me wish it was still mine. As for your car being a runt? Don't think so, why keep it all these years? YOU LOVE IT!!!

[hotrod1935]

yep bob, its sad i know, i love it , Probably too much and it does not help that i am a horder as i still have the white 1600e too!!but no one else ever seem to notice the y, well apart from the local lads.(every body say shame LOL), hey leeds cruse is still going(although tailed off for winter now) how about meeting?@ sometime/,next year??
