....or get to work on and drive around in.

quite honestly, i dont know much about this car apart from the fact that it is registered as a 1973 mckay replica with a triumph 1100cc engine with su sidedraft, and that it came into the shop i work at for a brake job and aircare. after a good adjust & bleeding of the brakes and a new needle and some carb adjustments...i got to drive this monster to aircare. the trolls at aircare figured the vin would have been 1 (because it looks so old) and i made sure to ride-along so i could inform the aircare employee how to work the shifter on a right hand hooker.

even tho the thing rides like a bag of rocks, it was still fun driving it around and scaring small children and 4 legged animals with the horn.

usually mondays suck...but this one wasnt so bad. B)













and a quick vid (turn up the volume and marvel at the sound of the amplified warning apparatus)
