Yeah Gods!
Maybe someone here could use it as a donor... but seems a pity to break such a lovely vehicle though! 
Cheers,

That alfa-romeo steering wheel has got to be worth more than the 10quid starting price.

If it gets no bids, how about someone nearby bids for it, wins it then goes to collect it, covers it with petrol and burns it. Do us all a favour

He's not advertised it as a KITCAR - so how will it give KITCARS a bad name!?!
It's advertised as an off-road car he learnt to drive in.
He's actually BUILT something that runs - far more than many people on here.
Yeah it looks awful - but it's CLEARLY been built with function over form. I bet the owner had a good laugh in it - and at the end of the day
isn't that what its about - Your personal enjoyment ???
That's my opinion anyway

I might bid on that when it gets closer, I could do with some new shelving for the shed.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I was thinking about pestering the poor guy with questions about roll centres and drag coefficients - but thought better of it.
I bet it's a hoot for tooling around in a field, great for kids (right up till they die in it....)

Allright I retract 'kitcars' and replace it with self built cars. Would you want to do 55mph in that 'vehicle' in a field?
I wouldn't.
and no it isnt about personal enjoyment its about making sure you dont wee me off with your rubbish car.

Hey that is really cool!
It must be ultra lightwieght. Notice how he has lightened every length of metal on it by drilling lots of holes. You can see where Lotus got their
inspiration from, or maybe he is a Lotus engineer!
Notice also it doesn't need any triangulation either, probably because it has high level bodywork around cockpit. Must be really fast! No wasted
performance on things like bodywork to weigh it down.
He could make a fortune selling plans for an Ultra-lightweight performance machine!

Correct me if I'm wrong - you didnt have to follow that link - and you certainly didnt have to post anything about it.
If it's that offensive too you - ignore it
As I've previously said - at least the bloke has got it running and has enjoyed hours of fun in it.
