Post by: Kirk on July 18, 2010, 06:24:54 AM: Im sorry....but all i saw was the yellow Corvette Convertible (i think its convertible) is it a stingray, and how can i get it?????

No1 Dream car "Corvette Stingray" early to mid 70's.

No2 Bedford Van.

Ive always said that if i won lotto, id buy a Corvette Stingray Convertible and do up a Bedford Van....No need for a Ferrari or Lamborghini.

Post by: grandad on August 23, 2010, 01:40:45 PM: L300 would be too narrow and diff are not very strong
Title: Re: why we like visiting merlin
Post by: SkippyThBushKangeroo on August 23, 2010, 08:21:13 PM: ahha!! thanks gramps ;) oh well anyone wanna buy a mitsi 4X4 ::) ;D ;D it does hav a "wen i grow up i wanna be a bedford" sticker on it ;D ;D
Title: Re: why we like visiting merlin
Post by: Merlin on August 23, 2010, 08:28:05 PM: I would think the wheel basew would be to short aswell as for the diffs being weak i had an L300 and stuffed a Leyland P76 V8 in it and i couldn't kill it .and not from a lack of trying either ended up selling it to a mate and it went hard for at least 5 years before he taught it to roll over & play dead ;D :o
Title: Re: why we like visiting merlin
Post by: grandad on August 23, 2010, 09:41:28 PM: mate put a triton V6 inyo his and kept blowing diff and transfer box. 4x4 beddy would be better useing patrol chassis
