Haven't Seen One Of These For Ages. 2
« on: July 17, 2006, 11:27:14 »
Another one from Ackworth.

NAG 329G


For the life of me I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to drive one of these.
For a start, there'll be all the stares & finger pointing.
Then there's the heat build-up, I know the glass is smoked, but still.....

On the plus side, it must be a doddle to manoeuvre with all that visibilty :lol:

Seriously though, whne was the last time you saw one??

Can't think??, me neither :?

Saw one of those years ago at a KIt Car Show, and in the magazines.

 I would have thought they'd just drive with the the side windows slid back.  :D
Cheers.

Looking under the mirror, there could be hinges?

I meant there's not any opening windows of the accepted (ie; usual) varieties
Unless the entire glass slides??

There's one makes occasional appearances in Coventry - the designer still works in City centre, I beleive.

His is orange though - maybe so it doesn't attract termites!  :lol:

cheers

Thats a Hustler I think.

Based on an Austin Allegro.
There used to be one that pottered around Oxford with a proud dad at the wheel and embarrased kids in the back.  I think the kids must have arranged for it to be stolen to try and save their street cred as I havent seen it for a while.

I once did 115 in an Allegro.
Once and once only will I be that silly.


Then I bought a Mini-Moto
:)
Watch out theres a tigger about!

A bit of digging and I think you are correct.
There I was thnking the demise of the worlds Allegro population was to turn them into slab sided mobile green houses but the truth probably involves tin-worm and crosses on MOT forms.
