antp ◊ 2006-10-25 11:28	But can this be considered as a "make"? (hence the "custom made" generic fake make name)
Alexander ◊ 2006-10-26 12:01	Any further information about the owner, details on engine or chassis, etc.? I cannot find anything on the net. Listing it as 'MOG' doesn't make sense, as it is obviously a nickname derived fronm the numberplate.
