I'm inclined to think all those stretch vehicles look a bit daft.
Now there's a challenge - show me one that looks good!

 I think the whole, bunch of Chavs in a limo, thing is decidedly tacky myself. Should've kept it as a normal front end with a stretched pick up bed.

Hi Chris. Don't worry, your work hasn't been in vain. That's actually pretty cool. Odd, but cool. I trust you took lots of photos of the build to illustrate your write up on what was involved?

Wasnt my work Manky,  Not quite that gifted Devon conversion, Cut & shut and added 30" - used to be patient/special needs transport. What did surprise me though, I always though altering the length of a vehicle needed like a 'V' type of cut. On the bus I can trace it in a single straight line, mind you, the chassis main members are hooog |

Best tale I can give you is the 6ft long inner/outer sill that it needed for its last MOT |

That was the idea. Stall & stock inside for travel, when its all set up then I have a nice warm doss space.... just need to get round to fitting a bed/cooker unit. But the camping gear does for now Collected my FJ in it last year. Going to Blackpool on Monday to collect Mrs BFC's new FJ in it. Would probably get 4 bikes plus kit in very easy, low floor too, about 3" above the bottom of the sills |

Would be great for going to the TT - stick 4 bikes in the back, pay for one vehicle. Lotys of folks do that.
Wish I was going this year.
