Post by: thermidorthelobster on August 24, 2007, 17:54:27: Very creative, I'm impressed! Were you tempted to leave the back of the 'van intact and use that bit as a roof over the top of the Zuk?

Yes very tempted to just remove the back ( like a mobile workshop)and the sammi would have just fitted inside but i would have had to climb out the rag top as i couldn`t have opened the doors :lol:

Steve it does cause some funny looks but its not as bad as when you saw it last as the sammi perched on the back makes it obvious what its for :lol: when i toe it without the sammy on i have actully witnested people scratching their heads as i pass them.
