Thought you chaps and chapesses may like to see these. How happy am I?! Full drop:   Full lift:   Front up, back down:   Back up, front down:    Three-wheel:   The system is a bit messy at the moment, but will be tidied and detailed over the next few weeks:  Controller/Switchbox:  And finally, the club...  I forgot to take pictures of one side up / one side down, and I need to get a friend to take some pictures of it hopping, but these should give you the basic idea!  |

You realise that now you have to start wearing big gold chains, fur coats, and talking like Huggy Bear from Starsky & Hutch (the original shows, none of this modern movie remake stuff!) Sorry, just couldnt help noticing that old Mercs are perfect pimp-mobiles!
Hey! Whassup man?! Watch the threads man!!!

The car is just a bit of fun - I have thus far resisted subscribing to the whole gangsta 'ting. Although, apparently the numberplate stands for Christoff White Pimp, so there maybe hope yet ;D |

Yup, enjoy motors too much to do them for a living - if that makes any sense... 'allowed'? Hmm, not sure there will be any choice! Although on saying that, my batteries are really wibblepoo - it would be good if there was a power socket somewhere... |

You should get your hands on a set of lorry batteries, Ive heard of those being used on lowriders, (I used to read Street Machine) they shouldnt be too hard to find, I'm not talking about batteries off a Scammel Pioneer or a Volvo FH12, you could probably get a set for a little lorry at Halfords, I think they ar around twice the size and voltage of a large car battery though, so be careful, and measure how much room is in your Merc etc...

Can you tell I'm into old lorries too?
P.S. I think that's the right spelling of Scammel, even though everybody writes it as 'Scammell', which I know isnt right.

Yeah, it's spelt Scammel.
I'm guessing you're into the manic street preachers, judging from your little signature line

It was once voted the darkest album in rock because of it's lyrics.
The manics went soft after the holy bible, they lost the plot after Richey dissapeared.
Anyway, back to the topic ;D ;D ;D

Well spotted, I'm a big fan of The Holy Bible, and the Manics in general. I preferred Richey's stuff, but it's all pretty good. Anyone else got the DVD of the Havana gig, its great! I'm a bit of a Beatles fan too.
