Just been perusing good ole ebay and came across this nicely modified ford pop! Was looking good till I opened this photo!<br>Image<br>
Think you would need a VERY steady hand at the filling station!

that is very scary and has probably been like it for a long while!

Surely anybody owning that would at least cover the battery and fuel pump. And I think it should have a spill catch round the filler to even be road legal.

If they had put the battery and pump to one side (opposite the filler) it would be safer and go someway to offset the weight of the driver. :roll:
And the space found could be filled with sandbags to help traction and dampen any explosion. :lol:
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.
