yes you dont see the wide versions very often, ive got a pr of the smaller ones but never owned the others

and a partridge in a pear tree!

no because if someone bids during that last minute then it adds another minute on,and so on and so on until eventually nobody bids and it ends,it could in theory go on forever

i think it will put folk off bidding,you will know if you place your last second bid that someone else will then have another minute to outbid you (which is guaranteed to happen) so whats the point of placing your bid? that was part of the fun,getting your winning bid in with 2 seconds to go

the extended auctions have started in australia by the looks of things,i dont think the nose bone will create a last minute frenzy but its on its way

thought id better check and it looks as though the greens changed duro with each version, 1st gen were 91,then 2nd gen 86 then the c series ones that came in cans ended up at 96,i always assumed they stayed the same like the reds did but obviously not

green krps were 95 i think so nothing especially different,i love the warning, no cornering ability!

it certainly loks a lot nicer minus the grip,the power pivots had its moneys worth i wonder how many of those were sold over the yrs,virtually everyone i knew had one back then

there will be no last second sniping if this comes into play! ive just seen it on ebay.com so looks like itll be rolled out everywhere i bet,ive seen it on car auction sites before and just when you think the auctions over it adds another minute on the end which can keep going over and over again ...

i can beat that as i have 1 in my collection i think glen must be the record holder

that cast aluminium one looks like the type of decks the russians used to produce,big lumbering things

yes it did pretty well considering the cond of it all

i always assumed the alvas were some obscure unkown brand that he had fitted those strange copers too,never realised they were alva trucks ,would love to see some better pics.
yes those traxions were on a coffin shaped deck like you say :lol: black and green if i remember right,which i prob dont ...
