Dont worry councillor i have thick skin, i hope you have too as i meant no disrespect :wink:
im not a mechanic, ergo, i dont see why it couldnt be early? :?
i really cant bring myself to like anything late no matter how low.... sorry :?
regarding the thickness of my skin... i was actually late picking my boy up from school today (a big thing in our world let me tell you) because i was being berated by a local resident over the inaccessibly steep gradient of the pathway leading onto our KG5 with regard to wheelchair access... like it's my fault :?
that's real-life however and this is a kind of virtual 'la la land' so you can type pretty much anything you like about me here, although if i'm honest people from the south pretending to be supporters of manchester united get pretty short shrift on other forums, especially when they start spouting nonsense about liverpool football club :wink:
with regard to the early / late aspect of the ballz body drop bus, it's part gentle teasing on my part and part based in fact (or opinion i guess ?)
i find the whole early bay phenomenon a bit of a puzzle, if only because i used to go on forums when they were just 'bays' as in a starter model for people wanting to one day upgrade to a 'cool' vw bus... then my computer broke down, and when i finally got round to buying a new one bays were cool, which is nice, if you're into seeking acceptance from mainstream culture, but only if their bumpers were a certain shape :shock:
oh... that's me ruled out then... curses :?
anyway, the phenomenon has taken hold to the extent that you actually see 'for sale 1969 early bay' adverts like it's some sort of USP (did they make late bays as well in 1969 ?) and why not by the way...
early bays are magnificent, and as a 'late' guest on this most incredible forum of 'earlies' due mainly to the grace of clem not booting me off as soon as i registered of course i have to stick to the rules... not post up pictures of lates all over the place... not try to argue the case for lates and so on and so forth... the old 'when in rome...' syndrome :mrgreen:
trouble is, i'm a mischevious little scamp, and i do love my lates, and i love most of all that the world's coolest bay (and it's official now... it was on the news at tea time) is a late, which i imagine grates on more than a few nerves... although it's only stuff like indicators and bumpers... no big deal really :wink:
anyway, i reckon the overall profile of a late bay, what with the 'squared-off' intake vents and the boxy bumpers just looks that little bit 'harder' and so lends itself to this specialist area of extreme *slamming* whereas an early looks best maybe polished up in OG colours, lowered slightly perhaps on a nice set of alloys...
(i'm expecting a call from clem at any minute and the last bit is my defence against getting banned)
it's all a laugh isn't it at the end of the day ?
there really is a great vibe in here... seriously 8)
