Posted 08/05/10 08:16 AM Share Posted 08/05/10 08:16 AM Mmmm...don't know about a bargain.... these things have attracted attention from the US and NZ as well....and their still current technology so you can bet they'll bring a healthy dollar too. Victor Bray has said that the doorslammers would cost in excess of 200 grand a pop to build and you won't get much change out of 100 grand plus on the bikes too.....so it's all really expensive stuff The burnout ute is a pretty basic blown big block Chev with a powerglide so it'd by far the easiest and cheapest out of the lot to utilise. As for the rest..... I'd doubt there be more than a handful of people on this forum who would know the correct start-up and shut-down procedures to fire up one of these cars....especially the nitro bikes, and we won't even touch on the maintenance required to run one without either killing yourself or doing major damage in the process The QLD government has decided to auction it all off as proceeds of crime while everything is still current and will bring the best price....even though the case is still ongoing, if the case goes in favour of Brett, you can expect to see another court case for compensation. Stay tuned on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
