Own your own Norton Manx...
« on: May 11, 2007, 10:51:15 AM »
...in 1/12th scale of course.

Minichamps, makers of high quality diecast models, is coming out w/ a 1/12th scale Norton Manx.  I may have to get one of these.

         Cool bike! 8)  Now if we could just enlarge it a bit and turn the plastic into metal. ;D

  That sucker looks mean even in plastic and miniature!

There's a bike I'd buy one of those 'mini-bike' versions of.  Ah screw it.  Build your own.

Check out www.unityequipe.com - you can order pretty much every part to build a Norton etc. including frames, magnesium front hubs etc.  Might cost you $20,000 buy you can do it :)
