Default Too Fast for Front End

I was going to post pics of my coupe when it was finished ... but I can't wait 2 - 3 years

Apparently they go so fast, the front end goes flying off :

Hi Pat.
We have owned the coupe for 13yrs now but we were based in WA. I have never been to Adelaide but when the car was bought over here, Jack did drive it through it, however unless you were awake at 2am when he went through...

Must have been another coupe Pat. but thanks for the comments

I love that green XB GS, hope you keep it original. Looks like a nice clean & tidy one.
Would be a shame to butcher it.
Just my opinion.

I love your coupe Tony with the ghost flames. Is that on gas too or just straight fuel with the Nos bottles I guess it is??

Ours has twin gas tanks in it.

Haven't you seen those pics before? I pulled the front off it ages ago and painted it black, replaced the bent bumper with a straight one and fitted overriders and silly numberplates!

Plenty left to do including some good old rust cutting! :
