"Magazine feature"?

Kill it. KILL IT WITH FIRE.

We should have a whip-round - few quid from everyone and we can buy it & burn it.

There was a thing a while ago at a car show I went to ,where they got that HIDEOUS mess from some TV show, made for Mr Kemp from Spandex Ballet by some bloke called LeePOO?
Kemp hated it and "donated" it to the cause.
For a Quid you could hit it with a big hammer.
All proceeds to a deserving charity. How we laughed!
This would be a great candidate for this years "attraction" ;D

Has it got no MOT because he's saving up for some suspension to be added?

I initially thought he must have returned home one night after a serious dragon run and went berserk but no excuse could be good enough for such an atrocity.  Yuch >:( >:(

In some pictures it has a sensible ride height, and in others (on his drive) it's sitting on the ground..

I suspect it might have air cushion suspension so it can go up & down at will.

All gangsta like.  ::) ;D

In some pictures it has a different registration too...  I can't beleive he blew 50k on that POS...  Even more, I can't beleive that he has had over 40 bids...
