OK I know there's a post on the wingers sect but I'm not winging about it......it deserves to be destroyed....read the thread..OK skip lots of it but needless to say at page 60 sumat they won the sealed bid... www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=517546no doubt someone is gona disagree (probably because it was built on the telly by people who are on the telly so they must know what they are doing)......well actually on pick up of the abomination it transpired it didn't actually run....and the electrically operated boot lid didn't open as the battery was flat...so guess where the battery is?? the paint work is abysmal with miss matched panels, overspray and panel gaps you can climb through!!! it also has the worst welding brett had seen...now the clincher...it has no documents...no mot....no sva nowt.. AND lets get real it looks like shyte.....So lets support the VZI boys and girls and raise money for Brads cancer charity. PS yep new guy who has been lurking for a while!! |

windscreen and door looks like a 900, and the grille opening looks 900ish when the bumper grille/air dam is off.

Man, this is nearly as good as the near-identical thread from earlier today |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

I know it's going to be a 'spectacle' but would they not just be better off just donating the money they wasted on the 'car' directly?

Yeah I saw a bit of this episode, they chopped up a nice 900 and made another monstrosity/death trap.

I know it's going to be a 'spectacle' but would they not just be better off just donating the money they wasted on the 'car' directly? I get the feeling they didn't have to pay much, and the auctioneers waived their fee when they heard what was to happen. I think they will make more money for the charity this way. And if they hadn't bought it, someone else would have stripped and scrapped it instead. Ok, its not the most positive of ideas, about on a par with the oval circuit of doom, but at least the car gets a last blaze of publicity before its inevitable horrible death, and the sole benefactor of the funds is a good cause. |

I reckon they would have made more money for charity if they had instead built a very cool car in memory of the car loving Brad, and then raffled it with the proceeds going to charity. You know, something based on a positivity about cars rather than caveman-esque "ugh! we no like! We smash with hammers"... Once again though... this thread is getting binned with the other one.
