Well it certainly has attitude. Could you post a downsized version here for comment? Then if the guys like it I'll need a good high res copy of it to take to the print shop.

Sure, but first:

Another shot:

Dan, for best display I think we'd probably want the hatch down and the hood up. That will also help save the battery.

Guys, let me know what you think of that last photo for a patch.

I just joined the National Street Rod Association. As soon as I get my membership number, I'll register the Roadmaster for the May 4-6 Nationals here in Knoxville. And my car too. Anyone else want to bring their Hot Rodded MG here as well?  We could park as a group.

Now it does have the hatch down and the hood up.  We only had the hatch open to get the towels to dry it off.  Richard Reese's 4 cyl. B is now parked facing it, with its hood open as well, so you can see the difference.

Cool! That ought to make a real interesting contrast.

Jim

Need to let those front air bags down, some. The front end is too high.

Cool front end pic!

We did that too.  I only raised it up to make the drive onto the crane ramp easier.

Has anyone though about starting a scrapbook of sorts on the life of Roadmaster?
Seeing it on the crane just made me think a little on the interesting journey that this car is starting on.
 Not to mention the one that it just finished. (the build)
Most of our cars will never see what this one is going to experience.
I'm not very good at this sort of thing but I'd be willing to give it a try if there is an interest. Or if someone else wants to give it a go.
I'm thinking of letting it run for the year and then do up a few books to go with the car or for who ever wants one.
PM me and I'll give you my email address to send pics and ideas to.
Cheers

I think it would be great to have a scrapbook that starts with BADASS I and continues to BADASS II (the current car)...it could also serve as a logbook for the car now that it is on the road.

We could keep it in the car; present it at shows and events, etc.

Enthusiasts and John Q Public always enjoy thumbing through these books.

I would pay good money to have a copy.

I have most of the photos of the various incarnations published over the years and some I took myself from Port Washington through Townsend last year. It would be pretty easy to down load those to a CD and send to you if you wanted to incorporate those.

How about a Digital Photo Alblum for shows ? Need donations ? This is starting to look like the reward of those who gave so much. Enjoy, roverman.

Anybody know how to post a pic from an iPhone?

I don't know anything posting from an iPhone. Can you e-mail the pics? If that's easier, send them here and I'll upload them.

I've had a similar problem trying to post pics from my WebOS phone & tablet.  The forum software seems to assume there's a PC file system when "browsing" for the pictures.  Happens to me on several boards.

I emailed a few pictures to my self from this weekend:

Roadmaster Flies Again!!!!!!!

Dan, thanks again for helping this happen. Great exposure for our project. I know that you put in more than a few hours to get the car ready and then in and out of the arena.

The director of the WV Motorsports Council told me the Roadmaster was the meanest car at the show.  I think he meant of all the local classic cars (Chevys, Firebirds, Mustangs,etc.) because there was a $700,000 Ferrari on the main floor, along with a Maserati, a bunch of Porches, Audis, Jag, Aston, etc.

Sounds like an awesome show to kick off the MG Roadmaster U. S. Tour.  Great job, Dan!

That crane picture is scary, though.

Nice Job, Dan!  

RE:  scrapbook.   Good idea.   For car show displays, etc., can we get one of those electronic things that do a constantly repeating digital sideshow?  (Like Roverman suggested).   Load it up with 200 images of the build, etc.     (Maybe there's ones that can run on rechargeable batteries or such...)  

The more the car can "speak for itself", the easier the life of its current "host" will be!   (Otherwise, we all have to brush up on being Spokesperson!)

Where to next?
