That is awesome.

420sx · 06-10-2011, 09:05 AM

"You wanna ride my banana?"

jen. · 06-10-2011, 09:11 AM

When I read your first post, I thought you meant someone dressed as a banana, not a banana car (which is so much cooler). I need one of these.

420sx · 06-10-2011, 09:16 AM

Im a banana! Im a banana! Im a banana!

Oh wow, my dad had a 1971 Chiquita Banana back when they were all the rage.

I wonder what the torque split on that thing is.

Also, did you get any video of him....peeling out?

Yep, I went there.

Saw this on 309 the other day. I wonder how they garage it... in a giant ice cream sunday perhaps?

xrturbo · 06-11-2011, 06:27 AM

That thing is from Coopersburg. I always see it in his garage parked across 3 bays.

bigslowchevy · 06-11-2011, 11:59 PM
