Hi. Came across this DIY Jeep/Boat from Russia. :-?



I can also recall from the Eagle comic a feature they did called 'cutaways'. They were the bees knees at showing how things worked. :lol:



In the same vain here is a Meadows Frisky as shown on a previous thread.




Seen one for sale on Mississippi or something.

Tony ;)

Hi . My Uncle had a Wolseley 6 (wedge) and I have to agree they were lovely to drive. That 6 cyl engine was very smooth. Metallic blue as I recall.
