Title: Rat trap
Post by: radiomarty on 20, September, 2011 - 15:52:39

As Matt now nears completion of his 24v project - I need something to keep up with him when we are out and about as my pedal legs are not what they used to be - so I have decided my winter project will be Rat Trap - A kind of play on what the VW boy's do - more to follow as it progresses :

Looking forward to seeing what it turns out like, as i nearly went down the 'rat' look with mine, but i've now decided on something different  ;) ;D

Does the ' go faster ' stripe on the front actually work  ;D

The idea is it will appear a bit of a wreck on the outside - but underneath it will be a highly tuned flying machine  :) ??? :)
