Motörhead - Tank Edition

Post by Tau999Heavy »

Hey all!
As everyone is getting into the spring vibe, i decided i would do a little off-roading (if you can call it that) in the back paths of Stellenbosch this earlier this week.
My Patrol has picked up quite a few names from my friends here in stellies. Most popular names Range from "The Tank/Beast" to a few less practical ones such as the moving mountain..... suppose not to many students are used to anything bigger than a 3 series bmw..

anyway thought id post a few pics to see what you guys think!
Enjoy.

PS: Trying to keep with the Metal Band trend here to those who havnt noticed :woo:

Met SimonsBerg wat so mooi daar agter jou lê, hoekom noem jy jou 'Trol nie net "SIMON" nie [ammal daar rond sal weet die DIE BERG, en die Valies sal diink dis Bybels.

nee, toemaar, ek dink sommer net hardop

That cover is actually the old one. My cover is actually not in the best condition, I just had two test prints made......

This one was printed on UV resistant vinyl, but would need someone to sew up a new cover. I would think that the vinyl would do the job as a wheel cover.

This one is just a sticker with uv covering that I stuck onto the old cover. This doesn't work to well as the cover isn't really flat anymore and I had to splay the ends to get it sort of reasonably stuck on the cover. Again this was just a test to see which one I liked the best.
