That's a great idea, I keep entertaining the idea of one for myself but I keep running out of money.

Lambert just wondering would it look naff? On the positive side, can be locked, will be dry inside. and I could sleep in it if it came to that.

I saw one a few years ago at a car show, it was a very long way from naff. The inside was exquisite in a light cream leather with piping in the body colour, it had accommodation for 1 with storage down the driver side along with washing up and cooking facilities. It will have cost someone a fortune but I suspect you could live quite comfortably out of it for months at a time.

it weighed 100kg extra and at 0.90 cents per kg of galvanizing and some shot, blasting brings the bill to €168. I thought it was going to be way more.
Questioned the bill thinking they had made a mistake but no that's how much it cost. Going to galvanize everything in my shed now at that price.
