Possibly, depends on condition, type of front guards and price. I won't be able to make the show, but if you could possibly post a pic and give me some details I'll let you know.

Brad - November 17th, 2008 at 10:14 AM

got any more pics of Brownies Baja ?


pete wood - November 17th, 2008 at 10:22 AM

^ ditto to that


MikeM - November 17th, 2008 at 10:29 AM

Is it still owened by Brownie? It was for sale a couple of years ago, not sure if it sold.

It has an interesting rear end in it. Air suspension with what look like Kombi hubs....

http://www.manxgallery.org/gallery/albums/album625/100_4767.sized.jpg 

Anyone know anymore?


LIFE IN THE LOW LANE - November 17th, 2008 at 11:38 AM

Car is now for sale. Rear end consists of Renault 5 speed tranny, air bags all round, adjustable tough dog(? I think) shocks, disc brakes, IRS with adjustable camber/castor etc to set it up just right.

Car is super strong and as near as unstoppable as you could get. Brownie's contact details are found on the coastwatch website for more info.

A lot of people spent a lot of time on their hands and knees under the car looking at how it's set up with some bewildered at what they were looking at LOL.

I have one other pic which I will post up when I get home from work tonight.


wildfire - November 17th, 2008 at 04:56 PM

We enjoyed ourselves yesterday thanks to every one who was most hospitable :D

Here are some convoy pics http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewAlbums&frie... then click on the folder " Gold Coast Show 2008 "

All the dodgy photo's we're taken by Dy :lol:

Some awesome pics from you guys :tu:

Brownie said he wanted $30k but spent $70k :O


LIFE IN THE LOW LANE - November 17th, 2008 at 05:23 PM

He's probably spent over $70k on that car. So asking 30 for it to me seems pretty damm good. It does have the best of the best goodies on it. You only really appreciate the engineering in the car once you stick your head underneath!!


wildfire - November 17th, 2008 at 05:29 PM

I hope he gets the 30K for it, it's a beautiful piece of machinery.


Joel - November 17th, 2008 at 05:56 PM

ive never noticed b4 how much a T34 looks like a cane toad
