Go on, you know you wood!... ..

Annual inspection involves checking; steering, tyres, brakes, .....and wood-worm.

Paul.... ... ...!

With puns like these Fozzer you should be writing for The Sun

Impressive! Sort of reminds me of a 1904 Woodruff. Did you notice the speedometer... it was in KNOTS.

Did I hear correctly? The gearbox... in wood?

And with a lorry engine (the only reference I can find to a FIAT 145 is a FIAT/Iveco lorry), I cannot but question the life time of the cogs.

Curious hobby.

I see lots of "gearbox" belt drives... ..!

I suspect that its very similar to the obsession of sitting in a comfy chair and pretending to fly aeroplanes using a computer and some fancy software... ....!

We blokes take on some very strange hobbies!

Paul.... ..!

Can't come up with any punderful comments on this one, but some lyrics from Jan & Dean's 1963 tune 'Surf City' come to mind:

"I bought a '30 Ford wagon and we call it a woody" & "Well it ain't got a back seat or a rear window, but it still gets me where I wanna go".

Wonder if they have a woodpecker clause in their insurance policy.

Woody Allen would have a lot to say about this one.

Yes I wood like to own a car like that. It's not very practical for daily use. But just to pick up a newspaper and a fresh loaf of bread in the morning wood be fun...

Hey, I said "curious" hobby, because it is. I did not use a demeaning term, nor meant it as such.

As long it's legal and it makes you happy, who am I to tell you not to spend your time and money trying to build a wooden A380 with working turbofans built in balsa and hardwood inserts for the combustion chambers.

I hope trying to win a Darwin Award is not on the list.


PS
This guy's hobby is an exasperation of the Morgan cars philosophy.

Very very impressive................lets go for a wooden plane
