In green with the sharks mouth. If the neighbours think my old MGs a bit scary this should put them in a rest home. 
ROTFL, that is sooo cool
There are cheaper alternatives of courseâŚ

Hmm Iâm getting an itch I think I need to scratch.
From the Pembleton site, are you really sure you want one Wizz ?
COMMON TOOLS DEFINED
DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted vertical stabiliser which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, âOh nutsâŚâ
ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning pop rivets in their holes until you die of old age.
WHITWORTH SOCKETS: Once used for working on older British cars and motorcycles, they are now used mainly for impersonating that 9/16 or 1/2 socket youâve been searching for the last 15 minutes.
SKIL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.
PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.
BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.
HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.
VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
WELDING GLOVES: Heavy duty leather gloves used to prolong the conduction of intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.
OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for ingiting various flammable objects in your workshop. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.
TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.
HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.

EIGHT-FOOT LONG YELLOW PINE 2X4: Used for levering an automobile upward off of a trapped hydraulic jack handle.

TIMING LIGHT: A stroboscopic instrument for illuminating grease buildup.
E-Z OUT BOLT AND STUD EXTRACTOR: A tool ten times harder than any known drill bit that snaps neatly off in bolt holes thereby ending any possible future use.
BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminium sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE TESTER: A handy tool for transferring sulphuric acid from a car battery to the inside of your toolbox after determining that your battery is dead as a doornail, just as you thought.
TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.
AIR COMPRESSOR: A machine that takes energy produced in a coal-burning power plant 200 miles away and transforms it into compressed air that travels by hose to a Chicago Pneumatic impact wrench that grips rusty bolts last tightened 40 years ago by someone in Sindelfingen, and rounds them off.
CRAFTSMAN 1/2 x 24-INCH SCREWDRIVER: A very large pry bar that inexplicably has an accurately machined screwdriver tip on the end opposite the handle.
AVIATION METAL SNIPS: See hacksaw.

PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.
MECHANICâS KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines , refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.
DAMMIT TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling âDAMMIT!â at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.
LATHE: A large, long, machine-tool specifically designed to effortlessly wrap any loose part of your clothing quickly and effectively around any of its moving parts.
MILLING MACHINE: A machine-tool specifically designed to blunt expensive pieces of pre-shaped High-Speed-Steel - aka âCuttersâ; so that you can use it to make another machine to re-sharpen them again.
UNIVERSAL BANDSAW: A power driven machine designed to quickly remove the rough edge from the expensive steel bands itâs fitted with on pieces of metal - of unknown providence - placed in its vise.
ENGINEERS VICE used to impart a beautiful diamond pattern on the work your gripping, also can be used to flatten the threads on studding. In all a multi purpose tool
DRO: inexpensive modern gadget designed to delude enthusiastic amateurs into thinking that they are precision engineers.
POWER-HACKSAW: Serves the same purpose as the Universal Bandsaw, save that itâs designed to do the task on straight lengths of expensive steel.
Off to clean the coffee from my desk, my keyboard, my monitors, the several manuals kicking about on the desk, my shirt, trouser leg and anything else.
The mouse pads for the bin.
Ha! youâve been browsing the Pembleton site, that means you fancy one as well. Lol.
Believe it or not I actually stripped down a 2CV once with the intention of building a special. I bought some sheets of MDF, cut them into 1930s roadster shapes with a jigsaw then fibreglassed them together to make the body shape which got bolted down onto the platform chassis. Then I started rivetting sheet aluminium over thisâŚthen I got bored, left it for a few yearsâŚcalled the scrappy.
Wouldnât mind another bash at it though. 
Thereâs also Lomax (a bit ugly and plastic looking though) BRA, Triking and JZR among others.
You need to get a cupholder or something.
Nah whizz, what ya needs a Dnepr and sidecar
like this:
MG42 optional
Sporran, thankyou you have just provided one of, in fact the funniest things I have ever read.
They say a lot of comedies genius is when we can link ourselves to the joke or subject matter and I am very very familiar with a lot of that quote, in fact rather too much of it I should think.
Never mind the coffee spilt on my desk, its 00:23hrs here and my wife just came into the office to see what my hysterical and mad laughing is all about, after I wiped the tears from my face I let her have a read, well she read it and of course still doesnât know what I was laughing about
Classic, i had the exact same reaction, cept i had a mouthfull of coffee as i read.
Was in tears.
BTW: it was the EZ-Outs that got me.
Whatever it is I canât see it because Iâm at work so no piccies. :mad:
Whizz, just picture a WW2 german sidecar combo with MG42 mounted on the sidecar and you have the thing.
Dnepr is a russian copy of a BMW motorbike, and thier sidecar looks to be a direct copy of the sidecar for said bike.
Really, all that is missing is the unit markings and machine gun mount !!.
Just the ticket for touring europe ( or invading the low countries )
Today I was in downtown Savannah and a guy and gal pulled up in one of these http://www.ural.com/ What a sweet ride the wife said it was her husbands Mid life crisis birthday present and was better than a twenty year old blondâŚ
Nice one Osprey, them Uralsâs ( or as they are affectionately known in the uk, Urinals ) have got it all, i personally favor the Ural Retro ( LMAFAO ).
Its really got everything you would want.
Switchable sidecar wheel gearing: helpful if following a bunch of PzIVâs as they tend to churn the road up a bit
Reliable âPushrodâ engine: yeah, lets just ignore the past 70 years of engine development. If it was good enough for great gram-pa, its good enough for me.
ohh, wait, ROTFLMAO⌠i just discovered the âSnow Leopardâ variantâŚ
A motorcycle sidecar combo designed for âwinter ridingâ⌠what a great idea huh, and an innovative name as wellâŚ
Is it just me or does that seem like a bad idea ?
( once rode down from Inverness in February, temps of -15c, believe me, there are much worse things than feeling returning as your feet thaw.)
