pugwash Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Nick (tangoman)- great job- car looks totally fantastic on the front page- powering up that hill- nice to see that you have half the countryside on the bumper. Great stuff and makes me want to see another project finished! Dave - landrover598- love the letter of the week- it's the bit where it says it's a hybrid- then says it's also totally standard- course it is! SimonR- finally your magic "banana" makes it into the mag- as promised i'm not giving the game away, although i reckon a few people should guess. well done chaps- and apologies to anyone who missed out.

pugwash Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 ooooooo I'll have to pick up a copy tommorow when i'm in the parts shop i do have a question that needs answering- you spend a whole paragraph saying that it is a hybrid made up of all sorts of bits. and then say it's completely standard so which bits are standard then is it the rangie axles on a defender chassis?

simonr Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Magic banana indeed! It's called an X-Zag. Has the mag got the competition right? Both the best and silliest answer to what it is getting one? The best so far is "An IUD for Elephants" - but it might be a bit of a squeeze even for an Elephant! (not that I have any direct experience of this you understand!) I'll look forward to getting my copy! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 yeah they've got the competition right- not sure about the name though they call it the x-eng thingy, but i reckon the X-banana is much more fun (admittely the X-zag is far more professional and will probably sell more units but you can't be serious all the time!). there's no need to be embarrassed if you have had intimate knowledge with an elephant- we're all quite open around here. although i reckon an IUD for a blue whale might be closer. if you painted it yellow it could be a mobile Macdonalds sign- you could ask them for a royalty for every unit you sell!

landrover598 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 The point i was trying to make about it being standard, is that all the parts are standard specification, no fancy axle / suspension parts, standard tdi lump, no fancy bits such as winch/cage etc etc. Also standard as comparied to for example Mark Evan's all singing, all dancing, every accesories possible 100" hybrid It was a few months ago anyway slowly modifying things such as suspension, and i've added a winch.
