Eyup, A want one. ;D

Looking at the build piccies, they are made from what looks like one inch ply, and probably marine grade as in boat building, so expensive then. ::)

It would have to be taxed and insured as it's a petrol engine, and possibly have to go through one of the kit car tests brfore being taxable, that's another £200 plus on the build price. :'(

And the first thing most of us on here would do is alter the steering, who wants handlebars in a jeep????? ;)

Looks lots of fun though and the plough version would have been very handy over the last few days.

Regards to all,

Brian.

I agree 100%. The handlebars must go.
