In case you didn’t know, the Triumph Bonneville, considered the most iconic Triumph motorcycle of all time, was named after the Bonneville Salt Flats, the site where Triumph broke numerous land speed records in the 1950s. As a tribute to their achievements, Triumph introduced the Bonneville back in 1959 and since then, the model has been considered one of the most famous and most popular bikes on the planet.
Today, the Bonneville is alive and well and it combines the style and spirit of those famous bikes of the 1970s with modern engineering to create a classic British twin for the 21st century rider.
The 2012 Bonneville comes with a low 29.1" seat height that makes it accessible to motorcyclists of all ages and experience. Short fenders and stylish chrome megaphone exhausts are also part of the old-school look, as are the lightweight 17" cast alloy wheels that make the bike agile and easy to ride. For the Bonneville SE model, riders will get an added tachometer, chromed tank badge, and brushed alloy engine cases for added practicality and an even more classic look. As far as color options are concerned, the standard model features metallic paint with Phantom Black and Aurum Gold options. The Bonneville SE is available in Phantom Black or two dual-color alternatives: Intense Orange with Phantom Black or Pacific Blue with Fusion White.
Beneath the retro looks lies a very current and usable motorcycle that features an 865cc air-cooled, DOHC, parallel-twin, 360º firing interval engine that produces a healthy 67 brake horsepower and 50 lb/ft of torque, giving the modern-day Bonneville a peppy performance that is at home both in the city and on the open road.

This was my first "model car" build since my early teen, and was gonna be a one off, i just wanted to make a model as close as i could to my daily drive, i've owned the surf for around 7 years so when i discovered Aoshima made a 1/25th kits i had to get one, in fact i got three, two were the "Swamper" kits (of which this is one) which were made for the american market which is where i got two from, of course it had a L./H drive dash, so i made a silicon rubber mould from the dash in the third kit which was R/D, only reason i didn't make this one up as my 1/1 is it was an earlier MK surf, a pre-facelift truck, and i had already ear marked that kit for a copy of a friends truck,( i'll post that up next)
this is the clear resin cast for a R/H dash


the kit was a kerbside kit, no engine and no opening hood so first step was open up the hood and make something resembling the 2.4 turbo diesel intercooled four cylinder lump, also add the air scoop and vents which i fitted on my 1/1


before painting i added several led's and fibre-optic lines as my 1/1 has plenty of lighting inside![]()



spotlights both roof and front were made from filled down 3 &5mm led's the front sanded flat and some stock ally tube polished and cut to suit the led's

also had to make the wheel rims so simulate the red center split rims on my 1/1, managed to turn these up from alloy round bar and tube on my small model lathe


fitted with the swamper tyres from the kit

led and fibre layout in the roof

underside is a copy of the colors on the 1/1 and the equ is as it was, ie second veg oil tank and compressed ait tank

side exit 3" stainless steel exhaust made here in alloy tube

pull out step for my wife added, (i'm in the middle of makeing a fully powered step for at the moment useing air and a small winch (my wife's disabled)

some finished shots








paired up with it's brother, a chopped crew cab surf

the dash

and finally my1/1 scale![]()

this is my first attempt at trying to build a Outlaw 10.5/Outlaw Drag Radial type car. its to be based on a new ZR1 vette, and im not certain exactly all what i want to do as far as engine and detail etc. i was on the fence about doing this because well diving into a project like this can be a bit much. So enough chatter here are a few pics of what i started this weekend.
right out of the box

and the cutting got under way'

Hi all, thanks for your many and varied questions about the 2011 season. I've answered a number of them as well as giving my thoughts about how the season panned out and what I think will happen in 2012.

When it was first introduced, I fell in love with Plymouth's 1970 Barracuda series. Especially the 'Cuda with it's 340 4-bbl. and all the way up to the awesome 426 Hemi! 1971 came and the 'Cuda became gaudy with the billboard graphics, fender vents and ugly grille. About a month ago, I saw a model of a '70 'Cuda and the builder says it was made by Monogram. What?!! Monogram?!! How can that be? The builder described his build as a '71 Hemi 'Cuda with the front and rear pieces from the '70 AAR 'Cuda. The more I looked, the more I wanted to build one for myself. Why didn't I think of this before???
I happen to have both of these models sitting on the bookcase, coated with dust, and in need of repair. I will deconstruct both models and turn the '71 into a '70 using the AAR pieces and fill in the fender side vents. I'll wire and plumb the engine and lower the suspension. I will turn the AAR 'Cuda into a phantom '71 AAR 'Cuda later. This is gonna be GREAT!
BTW, I am well aware of the issues with both these kits and I refuse to discuss them here. My advice is to not start any discussions about it on this thread. Start your own thread elsewhere!



More to come...
