Frosty Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Make a camper for it and rent it to the tourists. Looks like a fun ride and something I can work on. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetreeforge Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 By law I can't fit rollbars or seat belts. It does over 70MPH, National park still shut to tourists and non residents which is good, roads are empty, beach is empty, the law prevents me from peddling anything I make around here to unless its through the gallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George N. M. Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 That seems very odd that you can't put on after market safety features. Maybe they want to discourage folk from driving older vehicles. I became an early believer in seat belts over 50 years ago when a lap belt kept me from going through the windshield in a head on crash. If it had been a shoulder belt I wouldn't have eaten the steering wheel. GNM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetreeforge Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 I would need a certificate if I did fit a roll bar and seatbelts to show the work is upto standard and I have the original hood irons and canvas top witch is now fitted.

Scott NC Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I only mentioned the roll bar because of that 300 ft drop off. 70+ is a pretty good clip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Uh HUH, launching off a 300' drop at 70+ is roll bar time? I'm thinking ejection seat and parachute myself. One that would actually open in 300'. Regardless, didn't you know New Zealand deports you if you aren't a wild child, Scott? Frosty The Lucky.

Scott NC Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Ejection seat, eh? Good idea.... Sounds kind of 007 ish. Good thing the top is only canvas. Edited April 9, 2023 by Scott NC Re-Align My Comment For Today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 At least a hard top would be quicker than a long fall and hopefully instant death. Of course that's the old fogy in me speaking, I'm not going to be cruising 70+ on a dirt road over a 300' drop off in a rusty antique, or heck one of our modern vehicles. I did drive fun fast when I had my 91 Eagle Talon, awd. even then it could get away from you. It was fun letting someone who had been giving me grief or even the LOOK when I said it LIKED to cruise at 80 mph. About 30 seconds after hitting the highway I'd ask if they were watching the speed and they were almost invariably rolling past 80. It was actually a matter of constantly monitoring the dash to keep it even close to the speed limit. In town was easy, maintain the speed of traffic. Man I miss that car but buying a modern equivalent is so far out of my budget I don't even look at pics. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 My plan B is a Sig Sauer P220 in 45acp or if they follow me home a Walther PP in 9mm makarov, never leave home without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 what is a p220? I have seen Sig 229 and 320 not a 220 tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 The Sig P220 is the 45 acp version of the P226 9mm. Full size duty weapon as opposed to the compact. I think they have discontinued it fortunately I have 4 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Having researched current prices and ballistics and availability of .40 .45 and 9mm, I have to go with the 9mm for my next. I am thinking of Sig p365XL, for ccw and definitely getting another Holosun for it, Love the one I have on another gun, and unlike the remeo zero series, I dont have to take it off the weapon to change a battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
