Is that the car equivalent of streetfightering?

No, thats the car equivqlent of someone with too much time and money with absolutely no sense of taste, or sense....

I've owned worse...

I once owned a mini metro pick up conversion...

What that needs is a couple of big orange stripes over the top!
Or possibly some swan vestas and a gallon of 4☆

That's something they do in one of the Nordics.

There's a specific class of license that 16 years olds can hold, but it has to only have two seats and have a limited speed, so normal cars get converted in to these bastardised pickup things. They call them EPA Traktors.

I don't have one of mine, but it pretty much looked like this - same colour too.... But mine had a ply and stained hardwood buck lining....

As the article says, looks better than it should.

The Escort is massively wrong, but somehow right.
Has he made the windows look smaller by painting the glass?

As for Wratty's metro pick up - what do you expect from Norfolk?

[Skub]

Dunt look bad to me,then again wagons don't exactly flick my switch.

I'd bet Nik Samson would like that!

It was a POS - but it was cheap, and I had this idea (hahaha) it would be sort of functional... You could fit one bale of straw in it, just. Need at least a couple of bales of straw when fingering your sister....

Yeah, Streetfightering.

A mate of mine had a Mini Pickup back in the early 80's, he bought it already "done". It had a nicely sorted 1275 motor in it,
It had a wooden floor in the "bed" and a quality cover, a subtle paint job and 10" revolution wheels. Noice!

2 things I vivdly remember about were that the sound deadening in it was aces as the cab was so small. Also, because it was a pick up, it was even lighter at the back than a normal mini so the back end would get very lively, unusual for a FWD car, but familiar to anyone who drove a mini enthusiastically I've always fancied one.

Solid looking ones are being advertised for over £15k on the bay...

t was even lighter at the back than a normal mini so the back end would get very lively,

Guy I knew had a Berkley, built IIRC with a 350cc two stroke engine.

Some wag had replaced that with an 850 mini subframe. Under firm acceleration it would sit still with its wheels spinning.

I think the Metro looked better.

I think it was from a van...different roof line.

Add a lightbar or 2, and I could see that on my drive
