yes it is indeed, the front wings are interchangeable also.

I quite like it - not sure about the tartan paint mind you! It's a pity the Chavs co-opted Burberry - a 'BX Burberry' all trimmed out by Heuliez might be very 'clarsee' (not entirely sure it's quite 'me' though!)

If it was a mk1 DTR auto it would even be on topic!

Reminds me of the Chavalier created by Max Power for Goldie Looking Chain - Unfortunately Burberry had a sense of humour failure and managed to obtain a court order to get the car destroyed.

Well, seeing as how the 'Chav' community have absolutely destroyed their 'top drawer' credibility - it's going to be hard to laugh about anything I suppose?!

I have pictures of a Typhoon that was on ebay a few years ago. Give me a moment....

Got them! It was on ebay in February '04 so guess it's probably gone by now. Reckon it's a dealer special or home made myself, possibly a one-off?

Not the most aesthetically pleasing BX I've come across! No close up of Typhoon script but appears similar to that of a Hurricane.

Often its the "kick-start circuit" of the disc motor itself, which means the disc doesn't start rotating. If you carefully remove the covers so you can see the disc (or edge of it) and start it manually (by it's edge) it will often spin into life.
Take your data off while still running by storing it via USB as you will likely have to go through the same rigmarole again once you've switched it off. I've found this technique works on the few occasions I've needed to recover data.
