Not only dose it turns peoples heads, it also turn them green!!
BTW it starts first go and drives like a dream, sometimes I wonder wether I can handle all the power of the 25hp motor
Anyone want to swap?

Haven’t tried the aircon but I believe they work fine as long as you are going fast enough.:vader

Unreal.
Now dont be scared off by the great number of Fuses under the bonnet .
As a process of elimination , it wont take long to find which one of the Three fuses is the one you want.

It's called a swamp cooler, it works like an evaporative cooler, you fill it with water.
25hp, I think I finally found someone I can beat in a drag race. Those extra 11 horses should give me an edge.

Work great in dry climate. Anywhere where there is humidity i wouldnt use it. All that water goes into the car. Unless it is dry and evaporates (hence the name) then it stays there.
Looks great though. Might wipe a cyclist or two out though!

The swampy dose collect cyclist but since I installed the mesh grill on the front it works much better, still lets the air through and all I have to do is hose them off like bugs.
BTW got some nice bikes out of it too!!!
hehehe:vader

With that whooping 25 ponies and the extra weight of the water in the swampie would you build up enough speed to knock over a cyclist? 🙂
Maybe you could come up behind one and slip stream for a while! 😀
Oooops ....now "I" am in trouble 😎
