Mate, already thought of that - trike is 60" wide (but we can get at least 12" off that by changing the rear wheels to get it in the van) by 90" long. Helene's going to have a measure up of Budgie's Transit tonight when he gets home and see what the chances of getting it in one are. :)

More like a Luton van than a transit - that's 5 ft wide...

Yeah, I know, but as I said we can get it down to about four foot using skinnier wheels just for the journey. :)

Pick up tranny?

That, of course, is the arse ache of moving stuff around.

About time someone built a trike shaped van :rolleyes:

Let us know how you fare.

It won't be MoT'd by Thursday, sadly. The trike, that is, the Changeling's not a problem. :)

Just got to sort out the wiring fault now - got a remote starter that you don't need the ignition on to start and it fires up fine with it but, when you turn the ignition on to get the lights n' the rev-counter n' stuff, it dies ...

Got a bloke coming round hopefully this week to have a butchers. :)

Errrrmmm, get someone else to ride with you? Get a number plate off another trike that is mot's and legal, the cop cars won't know the difference between a vw trike and a kawasaki, would they?!!:rolleyes:

Looking good Nik - surely a man of your many talents can ride a mere two at once, even if one isn't working properly!:D

Nik

It's getting there - sorted the wiring problem, just got the gear-changing one to do now. :rolleyes:
