Visited Shug And Irene with a few of the guys in Novemebr.

He seems to be doing great and was just his usual self when we turned up.

In the garage covered in oil.

We had a great evening looking through old photos etc and remembering some of the old runs.

He was getting ready to go racing at El Mirage that weekend but our flight back was on Friday so were unable to tag alone which was a shame.

Dino's Pilot turned out to be a very rare 1936 Model 62 Ford.

I sold it to a young chap up north who (like me!) realised he'd bitten off more than he could chew and he sold it to Mark McHardy (NSRA Rep) who apparently kept the chassis and binned the body.

doesnt look like this now, it came to me in parts but some day it will be back on the road

Brian

[plastic orange]

Arnie Shelley was in Dundee Street Freaks for a while - his T featured in Custom car (November 1978 I think). It was also on our club stand in the Kelvin Hall and Ingleston on a number of occasions.
Don't really know why he sold it, and haven't seen him for a good while now - he was a likeable character - worked at Rosleighs in Perth, then the MOD at Scone.
Hope to see it back on the road sometime (last saw it in Barry near carnoustie about 15 years ago). It was a pretty quick car for it's time.

Was just looking around in the old scottish hotrods gallery and found pics of my dads old car. Hopefully someone will know where it is now. These are the pics i saw

Back in the late 70's through to the early 90's my dad (John Barlas) customised this morris. Unfortunatly, about 14 or so years ago someone braked hard infront of my dad in a bit road rage and caused my dad to smash into the back of him. It needed a lot of work to get back to show standard and along with family life and a huge garage rent bill he had to sell it. Ive never seen it since and i have no idea where it is now. This car was practically my child hood and if anyone had any information about its wheare abouts now id love to know.

The car was done in Edinburgh, Scotland, so it may still be close. It was a wreck when my dad started it but after years and years of work he ended up with an amazing car.
I believe the front setup and rear axle was wolsley. It had a Ford Corsair V4 with straight through side pipes. Ford mexico wheel arches, a renault 5 Bumper and a spoiler of a truck. It was painted miami blue with a silver roof.

You're close Steve.. Doug lived in Ellon when you sold it to him and the car will be on the road again (?) with a un-modified '37 Tudor body.

what year did dinos car get broken up??i got it from a scrappy in beith in 1999,kept it for about a year,swapped it to a guy strangely called dino!for a chop,witch turned out to be a ringer,he was from near faslane next to that green kettle place,went up a few times but wouldnt answer the door

I cut up what was left of the body in 2007.. I still have pics and will try to load them on..

[viscountian]

Does anyone know what happened to high ridin mk 2 consul WYT 163.A pal of Tich's from Edinburgh bought the shell, with the intention of restoring it to its original factory condition.The car was originally built by Shug in the late 70's.It was red with "feeling good" written along the side of it in fairground style writting(any pics ?).when sold it was puke green.lan.

[qwertyhenry]

hi i dont think it was built by shug it was built by john stevison (yogi) and if its the one ur talking about it had a beer barrel as a fuel tank and john was shugs m8 and i was just a wee nipper when it was getting built just as shug sold his yellow pop to we bobby and started his black model b

[viscountian]

yes,thats the one,i always thought shug built it.l think the old memory is going.

[qwertyhenry]

after john sold the consul he started his black model a but i dont think johns around the seane now and they where the good old days when i had my garage next to john in bellshill bilding my mk2 zodie

[plastic orange]

Where is Ralph Seifert's Ford Pop ('shot in the dark' - every car had a name back then:)) these days - DYJ 279 (I think). The last I saw it was at Monifieth a good few years ago - Blue with Ford 302 fitted - was from inverness I think.

You looking to buy that too? ;)

[PT Geo]

- every car had a name back then

Strange, I had the very same thought about names the other day there. Was talking to a couple of people and every car/van we mentioned had a name. The famous ones like Pinball Wizard, others like High Class Hauler (picture in my gallery) etc.

One van that used to be local to Carluke, back in the late 70's early 80's, was the Gambling Van. Can't remember what type of American van it was but it was yellow with playing cards and other murals. Had widened rear arches and I seem to remember either porthole windows or other windows on the side of it. From what I remember (and this could be wrong) it sat in garden in Braidwood for a few years and then vanished.

[plastic orange]

No - just interested as Ralph was a mate and may be returning from New Zealand soon.

[Roadrat]

Here are a couple of snaps of Ralphs pop as it was back in the 70s......Very tasteful!!!!

JTs blue pop went to holland....dont know where lukes red pop went but his orange ford 8 went to liverpool if i remember correctly. where did mick from airdries model As go? note i used plural cos he built/sold more than 1

micks A went to paisley then i think it went a few years later to ronnie wigg.


anyone got any pics of a 105e anglia called QUARRY STREET ROD.

cheers davy

[plastic orange]

Ralph Seifert is back from New Zealand just now, and asked me the other night if his Pop is still around - I told him that I'd asked, but no one seems to know. It must be in someone's garage:)

Pete

[markymark]

pete big ian took me to see a pop a few years ago in a little garage somewhere, cant remember if it was monifieth or carnoustie - cant remember if he said it was ralphs or not - the only think i remember it was as rusty as you like and was pretty rough. might be worth giving him a shout.

[plastic orange]

There were a couple in Monifieth and Carnoustie, but Ralph's one was in the Inverness area - don't think it will be uncared for as it was really tidy the last time I saw it.

Pete

....And the chassis is now under my Pilot.....keep tripping over the huge tow bar shite welded on the back lol....
