Alright guys, I need to track down the owner of this bike powered Imp that was on the forum a month or two ago. I seem to remember it was somebodies buddy, or relation? Anyway, if anybody could help that would be great. PM me and I can supply my contact details if you'd prefer it that way... Many thanks... You all take care now

Alright guys, just getting it back to the top as Retrocars are quite keen to get this in the mag and I need to find the owner to see if he's up for it.
Cheers.

Just cos something is good for you doesn't mean its good for everyone - for example Marmite does not make good Dog Food.

Thanks for all the input guys, any pictures of, or info on interesting road going or race stuff is always appreciated.
If you think the magazine should be seeing/featuring something that hasn't been seen then let them know, or post it up here and hopefully myself or Richy will pick it up and let the guys see it so we can sort a feature out.
Cheeers, Bryn

This is one of the best modified cars in the world ( F A C T ) ,.. yet no UK magazine has featured it .. www.hilmersson-racing.com/See if you can twist their arm to get it featured!! It really deserves it!

That Manta is the absolute business, I spoke to Simon about it when he was editor and he couldn't track down any decent pictures etc.
We're off over to the continent again soon, and as a picture of it is the screensaver on my lap top (that just died) I think I should make it my mission to track it down for the good of the people and as a posthumus tribute to the laptop of doom.
Volvo engined as well, which just adds to the sweetness in my opinion... ;D ;D ;D

I've spoken to Ronnie Hilmersson and he is well up for an article.. In fact he was going to bring it to RCS last year so we could do it all, but it ended up being the same weekend as a drag event in Sweden. If you tell me where your off to on the continent we can probably find some more suitable vehicles,.. make it a worth while trip.

You really should be doing my job... I reckon buying in pics would be easiest, unless I can convince them of a lot of Volvo based features ;D from Sweden... I'll shout you when we're headed off abroad to see if you can suggest anything. Thanks...

If it wasn't so painfully expensive when we got there I think these would be in a magazine not so far away very soon...
I'm liking a lot...
