Not content with his motorised sofa, 4 poster bed, and skip, to name but a few,
he's now gone and built a motorised office desk.

I hope the police weren't looking when he was on the phone though!

There is a video as well on The Sun website, if you can put up with the adverts beforehand.

I think someone did a skip,based on a Skoda Estelle,for obvious reasons.

Has anyone else seen the Mini covered all over with polished copper coins - I forget what they were - with thick good quality black lacquer between them? Looked fantastic but may have weighed a bit.
I can also remember a Volvo done in thick fibreglass snakeskin or crocodile or something. That looked awful.

There was Peter Seller's Radford Mini with wickerwork sides,looked pretty odd IMO and must have been a pig to keep clean.

There was a capri on the local news this week covered in 'dinki' type cars,waste of good products i thought,oh and it had the dukes of hazzard no.1 on the doors.

I wasn't stoned or anything, but I swear I saw ths in Malta one year.....it stood out 'cos it was registred in the UK and had a Bangor North Wales number written on the side (and it was skip of course).

I think someone did a skip, based on something between a Sierra and a large BMW, for obvious reasons.

I saw the skip when I went to Top Gear Live (or whatever it was called) back in the late 90's at Silverstone - along with the shed, sofa, etc. I thought Edd was also the creator of the skip?
|
Only thing I can find via a google search is someone called Alex Butcher using it for a charity event.

"The skip is owned by Scottish firm Oakbank Services, based in Dumfries, which uses it for publicity and fund-raising."
This *might* have been the one I saw at Silverstone.

If it's anythng like a real skip, and based on a Skoda Estelle, it would have to be in very good tune and driven in the lower gears surely?
I never drove a 105 Estelle, alhamdulillah, but I had examples of a 1200 and lots of 1300s including an 8-port head 136. They had to be impeccably tuned to be tolerable, but when tolerable they wre surprisingly good fun and brisk too if you kept it well down. To me they were an agreeable hobby and super-cheap amusing reliable transport. But all good things must come to an end.
Right. Now, back to the OP subject, er, skips was it? Something to do with huge enormous crude metal things cluttering up the road anyway. I forget the exact word.
