No good if you are more than 4 foot in height I reckon!! Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Wink



How did they get it legal ?. Its not on a Q plate, but a regular 08 reg, so it must have been significantly  based on something. I like the key turning on the back  Grin

Ace, you could keep one in the Omega boot for when the crank sensor  etc broke.

Be good on the back of a motor home Smiley Smiley

You can get a "current" plate on any collection of bits arranged into a car as long as you can convince the DVLA that you used "new parts". You are allowed one 2nd hand major component provided that it's reconditioned to an "as new" standard IIRC.

In this case, some guy has put a cardboard cutout postman pat van over a quad bike, by the look of things. Grin
