One of my favorite photos from this year was the old belly tanker that was parked off the road at the turn from Lands End. I have salt fever bad now, of course, and that picture is my computer wallpaper. I'm dreaming of seeing the salt again!
Can anyone tell me anything about it?
That is in fact a new bellytanker. I was in a rush when I finally caught up with him and I can't remember where I put his details.
I first saw it outside the Nugget where there were a few people looking at it and people were saying ..." ahhh, it's just a static display"....I could see what looked to be an alloy bike motor in the back of it , " bullshit it's a static display, that would n't be in there if it was" I thought to myself.....we caught up with him just as he was packing to leave... I had a particular interest in talking to him because I had assembled the parts for something very similar...
From memory he knocked it up in the last few years, took him a week or so of work . He used a Honda 200cc quad bike as a donor and even used the rear end.
"How fast does it go?".... "Well, it does 50 or 60 without too much trouble but the tyres are so out of balance it nearly gets airborne "
here's my brand-spanking new old tank.....
