ECR BeachRunner on BAT

Not affiliated in any way with this sale but thought it would be of interest as ECR participates in the comments and there is some great info there.

A couple paragraphs in and I read "...Black-finished 16″ wheels are mounted with..."

I do a double-take, thinking "huh, I must be looking at the wrong photos."

Nope, just yet another strange BAT-rabbit-hole. What a strange build. Seems questionable to use a 90 NAS as the base when clearly the checkbook had no tourniquet. Presumably saving money by reusing parts doesn't make sense to me when you're trying to command Ferrari money for a "beach runner."

With enough budget, you really can make anything seem sensible.

I hate to see Mike responding to Wagonboy's comments seriously. Wagonboy is the first person that deserves a spot in the Land Rovers That Suck thread

Big Brain Wagonboy never fails to deliver in the BaT comment section.

He is a fixture in all Defender auctions it seems..

 

[javelinadave]

At some point somebody will sue him for ruining their auction or for convincing somebody of buying something crappy. I honestly quit reading comments on BAT because of his worthless comments.

 

[Z.G]

I would never sell a Land Rover on BaT solely because of his comments

I would list it with them if they agreed to block all his worthless contributions from my auction. If not, no listing. Barrett Jackson is just around the corner and people have been getting some crazy money for their trucks.

I left a comment that I expect will be moderated

 

[Z.G]

They never approve my comments anymore, most of them were just pointing out wagonboy being wrong, and he would just flag them all.

I believe I liked your comment..

Wagonboy has 11K comments on BAT?!? His whole life must be hanging out there. I thought I was online too much..

If he had any actual knowledge or posted something of value that would be one thing but holy crap! 11k posts of D-Source newbie stuff and comments that a socially inept 5 year old would make. Ridiculous.

 

[Frenglish]

Two things are clear from reading those comments:
1) Clearly nobody looking at this truck knows the first thing about how these things are built, its like Lego duplex, easy and the parts all work together
2) Wagondouchbag is a twat

he's like a few of the old timers on the 'other site' that sit there hitting the refresh button all day long just so they can be first to post up on a question and start a pissing match. Adds zero value to the LR community.

forgot about this sale till someone reminded me of it and the final price. Also said ol Wagyboy got spanked and shut down. gave me a good laugh

 

[madcowdungbeetle]

That was well bought right there

 

[Andrew]

The complaints about the BR are jokes right? I'd love to see someone 'slap together parts' to make a NAS 110 Soft Top that looks as nice.

 

[pfshoen]

Most parts on the truck are new, or at least not from the NAS 90.
The padded roll bar appears to be the one part from the NAS 90 the ECR build cannot do without.
Rare to see such a high sale price with a Rover V8.

 

[rocky]

Wow. I recall seeing a 110 2dr built by ECR pre BR era, but had all kinds of fishing related stuff added to it. Owner was charged over $250k for the vehicle that he sold as soon as it was delivered through Copley. So this seems like a Bargain.

Listening to wagonboytd mumble his way through on that deadend podcast with his "one hundred percent" comments every other sentence was enough. He either over states the obvious (brings nothing to the auction) or states things that are wild speculation (which again, bring nothing to the auction). I thought I was the only one - LOL...
