Here's how I fix your links to appear as below:
where your code starts with (img= I replace it by (img)
At the end of the picture path I replace the ) by (/img)
The rounded ) and ( should be squared in the code: I can not believe those keys are missing on my dad's spanking new mac keyboard
Have fun, Erik

Bormac may recognize his body on the procat

the cat XL
the cat XLS
the procat

Jason (bormac) built the car and sold it to Tom (HKP) which painted it

So this car has been around the world , and one off the best bosscat around.
No i was not the seller !

I didn't remember Bormac's first name

About a year ago when i bought from Jason some tyres and spares for my yz10 870c, he told me he was probably the biggest Schumacher's fan in Australia. I guess his collection is a real museum
anyway, the bosscat has ended its world trip. It will remain in my collection

Nice collection or early Cats there
I was watching that XLS on ebay, you just need to add some of Willys decals to it and it would look like mine

Indeed I did build that Bosscat Works and Jeroen is right-it may well be one of the best Bosscat's around at the moment. Yes Tom did buy it from me a few years back and I sold it for a measly $450usd (what an idiot!). It was completely new built and even has a pair of the ball raced steering levers on it ( I actually have a CAD file to repro these by the way)

.
It took some working out but that Procat bodyset was actually not from the 89 worlds car of Andrew Nelson but actually from his 91 Detroit WORLDs car. This was Schumachr's first attempt at converting the Procat to a Bosscat style chassis. Wish i kept it now as i am rebuilding the 91 car at the moment- DOH!
....But I will say that your collection is very nice indeed also. My cars all start out looking like shelfers but many of them get run on a race track from time to time. Well done.

Thanks for the collection

and i agree, it maybe the nicest collector's bosscat.
here is a project wich needs more work but i already like it. pretty hybrid with tamiya tyres, gun metal anodized schuie shocks, an aftermarket procat body all on an XLS base:

Quick question: Were those battery straps & alloy posts available when the Bosscat was on sale, or are they the CAT 3000 ones?
Really suit the car, Schumacher should have fitted them as standard.

Im not sure when they were made available but they did all come out of sealed packets back when I buit it. I bet the battery hold downs were from a later model but Im not certain.
