Post by: Rozabikes Tim on December 29, 2023, 12:17:35 PM: First thought - very impressive.
Second - why?
Third - because he can.

Fortunately I lack the ability & funds to indulge but still great to see some serious custom builds.

For the younger members in here, a “blog” (short for web log) was a system whereby you got an email when someone updated their website.

All social media is descended from that basic system.

I keep expecting it to turn into a Transformer though.

Personally don’t see the point or the need to spend that sort of dosh but if it floats yer boat then fair play. It’s probably slower and heavier than the original!!
Fab engineering, done really nicely but think it’s a bit of dogs dinner tbh. Beauty in the eye of the beholder etc…….

Same. Way over the top for me. There's not much 400f in there.
