Trabbie

Post by Alley Kat »

Have a look at my mate's mad Trabbie:

The pics don't get across how small and well packaged everything is: it's not much bigger than a Mini...

I've 'met' Wayne through other forums, he's a hell of an engineer with a voracious appetite for doing unusual things. He's built all sorts of other stuff, from three wheeled scooters, to Triumph chops, to full fendered hot rods, to V6 Escorts and more.

He's built 45+ scoot customs... He sure is quick. We were going to build me a trailer, he'd gone & done 50% of it by the time I got round...

The Trabbie is a hoot, so low & small. 3k rpm does 110mph.
