What a great idea - 'er indoors would never find him in that!
There's a man living in a cave in the cliffs (Ballard Down) overlooking Swanage Bay, permanently, all year round: I wonder if he wouldlike a neighbour?  8) :y

Utterly mad and totally bonkers :D But do you know I'm extremely glad we have folk like this around with the freedom to be able to do such things :y

Fantastic. Good cause too.

I was surprised that it could do 90 until I saw it was based on a Passat. No doubt a trusty 2.0 diesel. Even with shed like aerodynamics i bet he will get 50 to the gallon.

So that's what happens when you inevitably get bored of driving a Passat. ;D

The trusty one was the 1.9 PD, the 2.0 is far from fitting that description sadly
