I was given a similarly battered model Commer PB1500 crew bus for my birthday. All I need now is to get hold of a model snotty tramp to lie in the back...  I was talking to a mate who is a very skilled welder last night and he broached the subject of doing a Stretch Commer. Genuinely his idea not mine. And he suggested installing a revolving round double bed in the back. Christ knows why. I think he had been smoking something though. Does anyone know of the existence of such a vehicle or would it be entirely unique? I actually own a round double bed but in my house not my car  |

How about something a little differnet Robbo, Nice - very nice indeed  . If the MG SV makes it there in 2005 as reported, this could be the answer for the team - tow a trailer to carry all those useful bits for trackside repairs, without outside assistance, thereby remaining in the race. Not sure how it would handle down the Mulsanne without a wing tho..... |

Now this delightful oddity is available on e-bay. One way of "stretching" the Commer, whilst maintaining the ability to blast the original vehicle, unencumbered, down the Mulsanne....... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2457064003&category=43123[attachment deleted by admin] |

A few pages back, I was speechless with what some other idiot had done, but how would anyone have the nerve to drive THAT down the road? Most people would die of embarassment.

I know of some web sites where that sort of thing goes on! Andy Z, you don't need a model tramp in the back of a model Commer - just a model pig. |

I mean, I just had to have a look on ebay - couldn't resist. Turns out it for sale through Barn Hill Minis and in the left hand corner of the photo is the very Disco and trailer that took away my project 1380 Mini when I sold it on ebay recently - brought a tear to my eye!  |

I'm sure they would! Imagine having a Mini grafted on to the front end of your lovely caravan |
