Brill !

It is built on an impreza!

Skips are quite heavy though. Best not fit a Pinto or you may excede the 44ton weight limit for UK roads.

Love it.
There is a vid on youtube of jeremy clarkson racing a skip (not that one), a bed, a sofa and a garden shed but i cant find the clip at the moment.

That must have the aerodynamic qualities of, er, a skip.

Yeah, But MUCH better looking!


On another note... Imagine the SVA guy's face when you turn up in that !!

If you parked on a road at night do you legally need to leave the hazards on?


Dan. - 26/6/09 at 10:23 PM

No because It's now a car that looks like a skip not a skip

Start with the countries first Aluminium honeycomb or composite skip

Looks to my like you'd get a lot of front end lift at speed from that shape (waits for full aerodynamic opinions from the professionals on the board


martyn_16v - 27/6/09 at 10:08 AM

How fast would you need to go to get enough lift to make a skip feel light though?


iank - 27/6/09 at 10:29 AM

But more about it from the builder (pun intended)
