I know he is younger than you and I Dot, but we won't mention that will we.
Just needs a nine inch, small block and auto and a decent front end and - hello hot rod. Haven't you been keeping up with the latest trends

Re: Anne-Marie's Bus
No, I have been concentrating on a big white bus although I can't see very much camping being done in a hot rod. imagine trying to stuff a bed, loo, oven, shower etc etc into a hot rod all around a thumping V8. Rather have a manual trans, better fun and proper driving not this pussy auto stuff..

Dot, You only need a bed. The rest doesn't matter. Just ask anyone in a wicked camper.

Re: Anne-Marie's Bus
When we were racing the drag race circuit one of our toughest competitors was a Morris J van, ran flat 11 sec every run, as consistent as clockwork, 350 Chev, 2 sp Powerglide transmission, 9 inch Ford diff.
I reckon she will probably drag a teardrop or similar vintage era caravan for the camping part.

Re: Anne-Marie's Bus
Are you telling me that you can drive a drag racer on the public roads?

You can make them legal to drive on public roads, we had a Cortina capable of 9.9sec quater mile times and exit speed of over 128 MPH, complete with the baby seat in the back, it was driven to the track and home again.

Re: Anne-Marie's Bus
We were always getting pulled up for our little car NOT being stock standard to be on the roads (Vic 1960's) we had a series one morris major with an MGB 1800cc motor and twin hollies plus some other bits and bobs hanging here and there, Oh yeah the tyres stuck out past the body , the exhaust was noisy and it was rather low to the ground.. We also had the local 1/4 mile record (10sec) Had our own strip marked out on one of the roads at Merrigum, no coppers for miles and we could see anyone coming for miles (at night) Oh we were bad kids.
