Perhaps this is advertising for his scaffold company or he just has erection issues?

My son saw this the other week and absolutely loved it - but the he is 14 and into the zombie apocalypse genre.
I was thinking how the **** would I get to half the bolts it it needed the wing off etc.

Ok I have to admit that although I really don't like this "thing" it's actually quite clever in that all that scaffold tube has been arranged by someone with an eye for design. And its black. Very black. Is it just me though... why the hell has it got khaki seat covers on the front seat bases? Someone has put some time and trouble into that... just look at the welds and notching on the tubes. It looks as though they just got p*ssed off with it in the end and just chucked in whatever they could find. I wish I could have the money it must have cost to build that though... just think what you could spend it on!
No they haven't ... they're feckin' idiots looking to try and make money by catering to a potential fad market.
An eye for design, don't make me laugh .. Look at the back end, departure angle? Look at the 'strengthening' going from the lower bar next to the Nato hitch ... what's gonna happen when he has a trailer/caravan/mobile riot control surveillance & control office on the back and wants to turn tight left? Why bother having a bonnet light pod and then stick bars in front of it so the light doesn't pool on the ground in front? Check the door mirror placement, then the vertical bar just behind the front door .. rear view? If the steelwork is any good, why make two large steps AND have rocksliders? What do the steps do for Break-over angle? No grill in front of the radiator and inter-cooler .. they'll last long then!! He can't even spell which bits are fitted 'Terrorfermer'? ARB's should be OK, but I wouldn't trust anything on this to work as intended, for instance, is the snorkel properly sealed and plumbed in?
I guess I could go on ... but you'll understand why I think this is just a heap o' ****e, tarted up to suit a 12 year olds fantasy.

Plus appalling power to weight ratio, insurers will laugh all the way to the bank, embarrassment factor in town centre, etc. etc. !

Of course it is. But do you think that eejit even cares about departure angle? All he cares about is the shape and he's done that pretty well. It's a piece of crap but it's a clever piece of crap. Maybe even some idiot will buy it and the perpetrator will be laughing all the way to the bankNo they haven't ... they're feckin' idiots looking to try and make money by catering to a potential fad market.
