	No apologies for awful punning, I grew up on Custom Car back in the day. Saw this at Dragstalgia, in the Show & Shine rather than on the track. You know as much as I do.

	Originally built by Mickie Medford in south London, Mick is probably known better for his Bright "YELLA" ProSt 11 second Ford Consul Capri, that once graced the cover of Street machine, have a look in the link, personallyI preferred the Husky prior to the comedy paint additions, www.serckservicesmotorsport.co.uk/mick-medfords-classic-capri-and-hilman-husky-6017.html

	I get the feeling he would have fitted right in here, “why be normal” car choices to build. I would struggle to choose between these two, in standard or modified form. Maybe the Husky by a whisker.

	The orange Commer Cob you are thinking of was built back in the 1980s, I think its still around. Neat little car/van that was

	Preferred it when it just had a nice plain paint job. Still a cool thing though.

	I think the Husky seemed a little plain to me in its first incarnation (maybe that's the point) - but the heavily cartooned version is a bit much for me. Somewhere in the middle works for me. Just my 2p

	I have collected a commer cob over the last weekend, which seems a coincidence with thos topic then appearing, but there is a fairly major condition difference unfortunately!
