Bizarrely, the car was involved in a murder/suicide case and is fitted with dual controls for learner drivers. Are these three facts somehow related? My old Mehari had a rear chassis leg made of papier mache...

Re: Guess the bodge contest As far as I know the three facts are unrelated. I'll try and dig up some info on it though.

Re: Guess the bodge contest Its amazing how MOT testers can be taken in by hot melt glue instead of a weld bead too... Infact with enough bitumen paint they can be fooled by cardboard and hot melt glue its said.

Re: Guess the bodge contest I was sure it would be 'sticky back plastic' it sounds like its one for the Midsomer murders lot or even a poem

Re: Guess the bodge contest Luke wrote: I hope you're planning to keep the dual controls?! it's not my car and I've asked the owner if he can avoid involving me in any repair process that may occur. Being the passenger in a car with dual controls is brilliant fun.
