As said, pheonix is AMAZING, so is the rail.
Matts told me about that CF, looks like them rear tyres only just fit in the arches!

Doubt it'll be mega fast, only has the N/A SOHC Subaru lump, although I doubt it will weigh much! The look is just perfect though, I love it! (Also enhanced by the presence of a large Roadkill sticker just visible under the rear wing!) Ahh I don't really know what I'm looking at with Subaru engines. Yeah it's probably still quite nippy I would think!  Great show, run by real good folks. We were running the STFU tipi, had a blast! The Pheonix is ace, I believe it is built on a '59 split. The kit was intended for bay windows back in the day, but they were too expensive for most folks to buy and chop, so the (at the time) cheap old splittys were used... the irony now. Interesting info, ta! I wonder how many of them are out there? As said, pheonix is AMAZING, so is the rail. Matts told me about that CF, looks like them rear tyres only just fit in the arches! The CF was ace, I thought of you as I was taking the photo |

The Phoenix!
I don't know what genius came up with that but they should be knighted.
Never wanted a car so much!!
What's the deal with the steering wheel? Can't figure it out on my phone.

I would imagine the Phoenix is a complete nightmare to drive. Comedy driving position (what ARE those seats?), ridiculous steering wheel, fusty smelling weirdo carpet interior, bonkers bodywork, hotter than the sun inside.
And all that makes me want it more!
I'm surprised everyone else didn't just go home straight away when that turned up, no point showing your car when that much awesome win drives in.

Well, seems that what the driver of the red slammed t25 next to it did, me thinks. It was parked there when the first pic was taken, but when the full camping mode had reached it was already gone, DarrenW didn´t even had a chance to take a pic of it?!  Ha! I think the photos were taken on different days in the display/show area |

Just catching up with the first episode of the new series of 'George Clarke's Amazing Spaces', and the blue Phoenix appeared in the title sequence, so fully expect it to appear some time over the next few weeks.

We spend a lot of time up in Skeggy as mum has a static van or 3 there. I didn't even know the show was on! Where was it held? Id quite like to do it next year!
This is still a working ice cream van! Nice to see it on a break from sitting in Tescos car park!!
|

I then wanted to start cleaning the interior as it stinks of wood (the material not the smell of a boner) best quote ever! |
