Default First photos 2010 corvette

ONLY KIDDING!

Well the motor's Corvette, 400+ hp LS1. Trike weighs just over 800kg.






finished race-track test today, stuck to the road like glue.
I'm a happy little Oztriker. 8 years in the building and finally completed.

I hope I haven't offended anybody with my little joke. It's just my twisted Aussie sense of humour.

Cheers,

Thanks Mr Dude, as you are well aware I am no good with computer stuff. I had to call in my 14 year old daughter to post the pics. As Clint Eastwood once said "A man has to recognise his limitations".

Regards,
OZ

(If only I could get my hands on an LS7 )

So how does it run? What color are you going to paint it? That's a pretty wild "conversion" if I do say so myself. Get some video of it cruising, I want to see it !!!

I will be sending video of track test to Mr Dude in the next week or so. Hopefully, he can do something with it, host it or whatever computer geeks call it.
