Post by: the.cern on 07 March, 2014, 10:34:31 PM AARDVARK !!! I think this the best word to sum up this car !!!!! It is so ludicrous as to be hilarious. I just hope that the original bodywork behind that proboscis has not been messed around too much. Good luck to whosoever buys it. Andy Title: Re: Can someone explain whats happened to this MC??!!

Hope it gets more sympathy from the next owner or put out of it's misery. Guy Title: Re: Can someone explain whats happened to this MC??!! Post by: peteracs on 09 March, 2014, 02:16:00 PM The answer is simple, because of the brake issue the car obviously has run into the back of a Bond Bug or similar and that is all that remained after the accident..........
Bit of filler and jobs a good 'un Peter |
