Well, here I am,

My favorite pickup

Swedish one, Big block, low8's

And Hot Lemon plus 1,

Hot lemon is in limbo, V8wagon has it in his garage. The guy who owns it hasn't done much but there were plans. V8wagon also used to own the red smooth and lovely V8 moggy with a VW plate.

Cut and pasted from NSRA site...

Hot Lemon's not in my garage- wish it were! That's Tony Boone's, cousin of Dan Boone who bought 2913 VW V8 Minor aka Chris Nash's Porsche India red chopped Minor off me back in 1989 - really miss that car! It's Tony that owns Hot Lemon, not me. It now has a tricker motor and much, much better chassis than it did when it was racing - which is surprising considering who built it. But then we all have to start somewhere!

I will post up the incarnation pics of Chris car when I dig them out and scan them - from when it was yellow, chopped and 1098 powered - we were both members of the Custom Minor Club, I had a traveller back then, which I swapped for El Richie's Purple People Eater after it had been re-painted white with red flames. I stuck a 1275 in that with Sam Anker over the Christmas holidays, probably 25-years ago now.
The incarnation snaps are pretty good - it was wide bodied once with Cragars and was on the front cover of Street Machine in '84 (I think), then Chris lowered it and narrowed it back to standard Minor wings - my favourite, which was when I had it. the last pics I have of the car are very, very sad...

The other red one belongs to my wife Sandra and it had a twin cam Fiat in it but that may change - that's back on hold again.

The blue stolen Pickup was originally conceived by Nick Diss also at the time of the Custom Minor Club - he ran it with Russ Smith.
Hot Rod Enterprises built the car and I don't think Nick finished it - not unlike him....ahem...

Nick sold it to Pop Parts Plus Julian who raced it - often against me in Chris' but Julian's was always at least a second quicker.

Happy days,

Cheers,

Jon

Also trying to track down Nic Cook cos I've lost contact with him. He owns a 302 powered dark blue 2-door with Hot Rod Enterprises (originally) chassis. Chopped similar to my wife's - that's where I got the inspiration. Plate's 302 HPP - I just DVLA checked it and it's curently taxed.

Nic's car was on the front cover of Street Machine about 15-ish years ago.

The metallic Copper one - 462 GTA was originally built by Rich Nicholls of Street Machine/American Car World/Custom Car fame.

And I do believe that's Linda Vaughn in the last but one post...

I bought that copy of Street Machine with Nick Cook's minor on the cover and it's the car that started my obsession and turned me from the VW scene to the dark side. I still have it somewhere. I'll have a dig around and scan it. Awesome looking machine

Seem to remember there was an almost identical Hill Climb Minor with similar power plant run by Andy Beveridge (?) Similar colours but sort of reversed...
