I like the ROver coffee table but I know my wife wouldn't let me have it.....

 

[Grantura_MKI]

Looks like slight over reving on that coffee table?

 

[tony barnhill]

hmmmmmmmmmmm...I've got a couple of old Rover blocks in a building...need to show Jerri that photo!

 

[weewillie]

coffee table makes a great wine storage also and close at hand

 

[bugimike]

I remember Rot and Truck featuring a table like that in their PS section using an F1 unit years ago, also had the wine bottles!

Mud-Bogging Mini or Little Big Foot?

"So, Jerri, look at this. I think it would look nice in the TV room."

" Oh, yeah!" As one eyebrow peaked upwards towards the ceiling. " That's horrible!"

"Where were you planning on putting it?"

"Right out here in front of the 2 love seats; like a coffee table."

"I thought you were kidding. You're serious, aren't you?"

"Well, yes."

"NO!"

 

[DrEntropy]

OUCH!

'smits would LOVE that as a coffee table. I'd be the one complainin'.... ~I~ want the Cossie DFV one!!! No stinkin' BUICK in ~MY~ livin' room! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

So, anybody need a couple of Buck blocks? hehehehe

Some nice (interesting) vehicles there... Here's an interesting Mini or two

#1

I may have shown this photo here before? It's a 1963 Mini that was written off in Ontario back in 1964, and then rebuilt into this unique mixer, last I heard it was being restored by a cement mixing company a little north of Toronto... And this is a photo I took...

#2

This photo was forwarded to me at some point by someone (forget who), it's a Mini that was converted by CN Rail for track use, not sure if it was ever restored yet or not...

 

[aeronca65t]

Oh man...that Mini-Mixer is really cool!

 

[terriphill]

I have a 1275 that I'm dying to make into an end table, but I'm afraid an 800 pound end table is a little heavy for standard use. What do you figure that coffee table weighs and how would you ever move it on those hardwoods?

 

[tony barnhill]

Oh, stripped Buick blocks are light...all that one has is a cam w/gears & 4 rods/pistons...bet its nowhere near the weight of the heavy piece of glass.

 

[DrEntropy]

150~200 pounds MAX! I'd be stunned if the metal bits were over 125.

 

[DART]

I think the CN car has been used for a little random target practice...or someone tried to hold up the train.

 

[bugimike]

Now THAT'S a car you CAN take to the track!!

 

[Wray]

That Mini rail speeder is beyond cool. Too bad it was left for dead. Hope someone is restoring it.

Yes, but WHERE would you use it - sneak out late at night and find a quiet railway line /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

 

[bugimike]

Yeah, hehe, Just WATCH OUT for the oncoming traffic!!!

Tony that doesn't fit with your motto, she did say no to you
