Interesting vehicle.

I like the look of the rollcage/roof rack setup. However I suspect that the cage is for show only, and not actually functional. Might be wrong of course.

Don't know why the cabinet is temperature controlled?

Unless the Webb Ellis cup is made of chocolate

Could be a little embarrassing if it looks like gold but turns green if it gets damp.
