Went to look at a car over the weekend and discovered this work of art being built in the bloke's garage:
It is absolutely perfect in every respect and will be totally road-legal. Almost everything on the trike is bespoke or repurposed - for example, the hubcaps on the rear wheels are drum kit cymbals that have been machined. It's built around a Harley engine and is totally unique.
It's not yet finished and the chap explained his ethos thus: it's a hobby, and as such it had to take 2nd place to paying off the mortgage and ensuring his wife had everything she needed. Now that the mortgage is paid off, he can devote more time and money to finishing it. He's been working on it for 7 years already.
This is probably the first time anyone has photographed it (according to him). He has been offered a six figure sum for it once complete, but he couldn't bear to part with it for anything.
