The Fat Banana - Pics


Recommended Posts

Posted

When Grant first described the car to me I was almost sick with a picture of pure boggingness in my mind ( yellow, graphics and bloomin 3 spoke alloys) but when we pulled up at the sellers address I was amazed to find that I actually quite liked the car and that the overall package works realy quite well, looks far better in the flesh than the photos but that low front shot does make it look like a right fat pie :(

I just need to start puting some cash away now so when one of the remaining four come up for sale I can jump in there with a cheeky wee bid :D

As said before, I look forward to seeing her in action once Andy has given her a full bill of health and a wee tweek or two.

I wouldnt like to think how much this cost Trial to build, even in today's terms where alot of the mods can be had cheeper than in 1997

ps Grant yer still a tart :icon_salut:

I like the body kit, looks purposeful without being gawdy! Colour and style are very subjective, she looks sweet - enjoy! Ob and btw look forward to doing battle at knockhill....

That is comically in your face mate... when I saw a couple of those pictures I genuinely laughed at how wide it is!!

Brilliant car choice gaffer, will be quite lively once Mr F sprinkles some magic over it and you're able to open it right up. :(

Cheers,

Grant

Have to agree with this!?! Not many people would get away with this sort of car, but to be honest Grant it suit's you down to a T!

Well done bloke! I like it, it's kinda old skool kitch! Never thought I'd say this, I even think the wheels suit it! Hard as Nails!!

I'll have to make a trip up to see you, Imy and the new toy before I jump on the boat to Ireland!

Class mate, really do like it!

Wheels are growing on me and they are a doddle to clean
