vagt6 Silver Member Darth Vader Registered: 07/23/03 Posts: 2554 Loc: Charlottesville, Virginia, USA	Gotta be some kind of Amphicar clone. Amphicars had the Triumph 1147 lump and the engine in the photo looks a bit like one. My guess: Amphicar-esque-ish remake, kit car of some kind or an amateur rebuild of an Amphicar.

tony barnhill Greatest Pumpkin Ever! Great Pumpkin Registered: 11/16/02 Posts: 25084 Loc: Gurley, Alabama, USA	Friend of mine has an Australian Sheep dog that just barks for no particular reason...his name is Sprocket but I've been calling him 'Nimrod' for so long that he answers to it when I go over there. I call him that because, while he knows all the typical dog tricks, if he can overpower you with his barking, he'll not do them....when he wants to play, I make him lay down & roll over first....he tries to become the Alpha dog by barking so loudly that he thinks I'll give in & play...so, I call him 'Nimrod' and ignore him until he comes up & rolls over. _________________________ Tony "theAutoist" Barnhill

drooartz Gold Member Yoda Registered: 03/11/05 Posts: 5483 Loc: Utah, USA	I'd love to hear more about it, Pat. Where did you find it? I swear there was one on eBay recently -- I'm always looking at RHD cars, and one came up. _________________________ Drew Frink -- http://www.drooartz.com '59 AH Sprite (The Tunebug), '07 Triumph Bonneville, '09 Honda Fit Sport "Isn’t it cute how, no matter now much work a Bugeye needs, he still smiles?" -- my wife

Yes, more info/updates please! ......then again, I'm sitting up at 3 AM, bored out of my mind with a killer sinus infection, so maybe I'm not the best judge _________________________ Nial's #909 Spridget #909 Escort Twin Cam Racer (sold-still a part-time driver) My Race Events Spridget~MGB~Miata~Austin A35~Midget~Aeronca65T~Chevy TowVan~Accord Jersey Music!
