warpig Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 i think someones trying to pull the wool over our eyes and in my opinon that would be the most rediculous waste of a helicopter.. i also did a search on the discovery channel website and could find no such result. ::potty:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewT Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 i think someones trying to pull the wool over our eyes and in my opinon that would be the most rediculous waste of a helicopter..yeah, does it fly or did you guys put wheel on it? Cause only 4 hours to turn a "junk yard" helicopter into a flying machine again seems off. where do you even find a helicopter junk yard?

PhotoFlyer Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Just checked the schedule on discovery.com, turns out it is a real show. It probably doesn't show up on the website becuase its a pilot...or somthing. There is no info, just says that the show will be on.

Guest pokey Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 it was on last night at 7 EST, i watched it. It is another of those typical "turn this into that" build show--(which are fun to watch) I was going to go to sturgis this year too RATS ! I will tune in to see this thing actually drive on the road. A waste of a junkyard helicopter?--------just how cool would it be pullin' up to yer friends house in a ch53?

Joker_114th Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I Think turnin the Chopper (CH53) into a Limo is almost as Stupid as Dodge builing a motorcycle...... Hence if it does not fly then its a waste........& four wheels is not a Motorcycle.... ::potty:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAXDADDY Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I GUESS IT MIGHT BE KIND OF STUPID TO TURN A HELICOPTER INTO A LIMO, BUT REMEBER THIS IS A HELICOPTER THAT WOULD HAVE NEVER FLOWN AGAIN AND WOULD HAVE JUST ROTTED AWAY. WE TRANSFORMED IT INTO THE LIMOKOPTER. ITS PRETTY COOL AND IT TOOK 6 MONTHS TO BUILD WITH MANY PEOPLE HELPING. THEN WE TAKE IT TO STURGIS FOR BIKE WEEK. WE SET UP AT THUNDER ROAD AND THEN WE TAKE IT TO MOUNT RUSHMORE. I DROVE IN IT, AND THE LOOK ON EVERY ONES FACE WAS GREAT. STAY TUNED AND YOU WILL SEE US DRIVE IT. I HAD A HAND IN THE BUILD, IT WAS ALOT OF FUN. I ALWAYS WATCH THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL AND OTHER CHANNEL WITH SIMILAR SHOWS. I AM IN THE CAR CARE BIZ WWW.FORMULA113.COM AND LOVE THOSE CRAZY BUILDS, WELL THIS TIME I GOT TO BE ON TV INSTEAD ON BEING IN FRONT OF IT. HIT MY WEBSITE, THERE ARE SOME FINISHED PICTURES OF THE LIMOKOPTER STAY TUNED THANKS ::superman:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewT Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 do you SISSY'S #### eachother or do you #### your little sisters? Probably the latter..It depends on what kind of mood we're all in. Relax a little and try to remember that its ok if people have a difference of opinion. ::cheers:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty-O Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Differences of opinion, yes - I'm all for it. Dropping the F-bomb and using #### to try to get your point across - no way.nycwholesale - I don't know what your selling and I don't want any. And coming from NYC myself - you're an embarrassment to the city...and the state and the entire country for that matter!! ::crossedarms:: Try fighting for something more worthwhile than a TV show.We are all guests on this site and take pride in keeping the decorum at a respectable and professional level.

Guest Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Sorry but I had to act like a Forum Nazi. I deleted the post with the rude language. -Rey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzchopper Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Thank you Rey, it was not a necessary post. BTW, the pics of you in the TEMSCO 500 doing toe-ins looks awesome. Keep up the good work. The site looks great too. Steve ::rotorhead:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAXDADDY Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 TUNE IN NEXT MONDAY AT 7PM DISCOVERY CHANNEL. IT GETS BETTER AS WE START TO PUT TOGETHER THE INSIDE OF THE LIMOKOPTER. EVERY TIME I SAW THE LIMOKOPTER , I WAS LAUGHING TOO, BUT ITS COOL, I DONT REMEMBER ANYONE EVERY BUILDING ONE OR EVER SEEING ONE. WHEN IT GOES DOWN THE STREET ITS A SIGHT. WHY A LIMOKOPTER?? WHY NOT?? VINI BERGEMAN (BIG DADDY) IS RETIRED FROM THE LIMO BUILDING BIZ. HE OWNS ULTRA COACH BUILDERS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. HE HAS BUILT THE WORLDS LARGEST MOTORCYCLE, MANY CUSTOM LIMOS FOR CELEBS , THE POPE MOBILE. I GOT ON THE SHOW BY ACCIDENT WHEN I MET VINI AND THE KING OF CUSTOMS GEORGE BARRIS LAST NOVEMBER IN LAS VEGAS AT THE SEME SHOW. I AM FROM THE BRONX AND SO IS VINI, WE CLICKED WHEN WE MET.I HAD THEM BOTH LAUGHING IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND VINI MADE A PHONE CALL TO THE PRODUCER TOM JENNINGS AND I WAS ON THE SHOW. VINI AND GEORGE BUILT A LIMO OUT OF 2 MINI COOPERS CALLED THE DOUBLE HEADER, YES IT DRIVES BOTH WAYS. THAT THING IS A SIGHT. THERE ARE SOME PICTURES OUT THERE OF THAT CRAZY CAR ON THE INTERNET. STAY TUNE IT GETS BETTER, THERE ARE 2 MORE EPISODES THIS MONDAY AND THE 17TH ::thanks:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
