tazzieman Posted 3March, 2016 Report Share Posted 3March, 2016 Ride comfort would be on a par with my 1975 billy cartBut otherwise a stabbed rat couldn't go quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 3March, 2016 Report Share Posted 3March, 2016 Looks better than a Singer too. Always liked the Ruf cars, especially their wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 3March, 2016 Report Share Posted 3March, 2016 Whilst we're imagining , imagine turning up in a Singer or one of the above - and then someone else turns up in the same car.Same colour as well.Deflationary I imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomo Posted 3March, 2016 Report Share Posted 3March, 2016 Would have loved it if it was still Air /Oil cooled There is enough water cooled fast cars about already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 3March, 2016 Report Share Posted 3March, 2016 Would have loved it if it was still Air /Oil cooled There is enough water cooled fast cars about already You can still buy old Ruf cars.The fast cars are a bit , well , overdone. Even the autobahns are speed limited for the most part. Which track would you take it to? Who would?But these bespoke cars help fill the void for the "mine's bigger than yours" gent Good luck getting past the Priuses on the Nurburgring I reckon.

tazzieman Posted 4March, 2016 Report Share Posted 4March, 2016 C'mon Trev , this is how it's done by real sailorsBelieve me it's harder than it looks. It'll turn anyone AC/DC for hours on end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 4March, 2016 Report Share Posted 4March, 2016 Is there an AC/DC plaque on the back Harvs?Proper sewing machine that one. Not one of these new fangled thermomix types.AC-DC? Sure is. I never noticed that before. That's about as high tech as this one gets. It's built for straight lines and the occasional curves. Just how I like 'em. I believe it will still be running well after we're all off this rock, not like the modern stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 4March, 2016 Report Share Posted 4March, 2016 Hand splicing is an art we practice daily Easy when you know how. Like most things! Even surgery isn't rocket science. A good eye , steady hand and ability to avoid stuff ups are admirable qualities.So you do or don't use electronic sewing machines?Splicing mooring ropes is more my experience. Like working on your own brakes , there are consequences for doing a poor job.Now back to the Singer For those that don't know (and you should , being Aussies) , the singer of AC/DCs guitarist's sister named the band after spotting the moniker on the back of the machine she was sewing Angus' school uniform on.This forum isn't just about avarice & lust you know.
