waimaks Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 What is brumble bee? Oh also, might make it a little more understandable, Brats were marketed as brumby's over here and in Austrailia. And it being yellow small and stripy is a play on words of the Kiwi icon of the Buzzy Bee toy and the Name brumby. Brumby with fubared CV's probably makes the same clicky sound the toy does too.

daeron Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'm sorry, but this photo shows the package best IMHO. if you have a problem with me posting this picture from your photobucket I apologize and will edit. I just liked that one the best, and wondered why you hadn't posted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waimaks Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Nah thats cool, I wouldn't'a put it in there if I didn't want people to see it. Is it normal for there to be a slight lip in the roofline where the T-tops would normally end at the rear or roof kinda following the curves on what would say "BRAT" going over the roof? Description bad.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 That Brumby is just plain awesome...I love the striping...reminds me of my 82 Toyota truck I had ..Big bold stripes..Lovin it..thanks for sharing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waimaks Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Cool. The guy I brought it off said it had the number plate brumby, I'm not sure on the spelling, whether it was brumby or brumbee. But he lost them in his house, and the car was really his brothers or something, so it may be difficult getting the ownership of the plate.
