Awesome Van

I've moved out of Sheffield now, but I still hope to continue making the regular RR meets there on the Meadowhall Retail Park.  September the 5th of September was the most recent meet and something really very special indeed appeared.  Unfortunately, my photographs don't contain the soundtrack that this thing entered with and more's the pity.  Believe it or not, what you're about to witness started life as a bay window panel van but is now a fully custom, non air ride, multi-windowed, T-topped, suicide doored masterpiece on Porsche alloys.  The owner is a legend for driving this on Sheffield's treacherous roads.

Unlikely Bedfellows

The Standard Atlas is a clumsy looking old thing, and quite rare now.  Most Standard Atlas' have rotted away or are found seemingly solid only to have rotted away in all the important places so that they turn into a pile of old British tin at the mere tug of a door handle.

The Bosozoku movement of Japan creates clumsy looking things.

I like both, for reasons I don't yet fully understand, so when the challenge for a Bosozoku themed vehicle came up over on Retro Rides I couldn't help myself really.

I HAVE NO REGRETS!
