The ones on the Mk1 were chrome, didn't take much cleaning. The Twistymobiles are bare aluminium and are a nightmare to get shiny. They only get done about once a year .
She is my pride and joy after all, so you've got to let me have some shininess . |
have to say never seen it in the flesh but seen a few pics and alway's thought your mk1 looked really smart ...was very nicely done .....even with the chrome wheels
although as technology and wisdom gets better i don't think you'd be that impressed with a pic of current truck on a tree stump like that lol _________________ LTM NO.41 |

Yeah, oddly enough the guys in the modified class nicked all the decent size logs whilst I was busy taking a convoy of joe public round the off road course.
...and they weren't going to give them back _________________

I do miss the old 2.8, She had a proper solid feel to her that the Twistymobile just doesn't have, and she was so reliable.
Her only weak spot was the usual rust in the sliding window runners, oh and that bloody handbrake . _________________

A mildly interesting read i suppose. I just find it shameful.
The nerve of some people, its blatently a step by step copy
of my blue one.
unbelieveable!
Looking good as always twisty , and is pretty much the sole reason mine looked like she did.
