It has quite literally travelled further than the moon n back, the moon is roughly 239 thousand miles away, 1 way. lol

I hope any owner doesn't need to gain access to that air tight box on the gas tank in a hurry  ::) I can understand him wanting it 'out of harms way' but he hasn't done anyone any favours has he?  ;D

Wonder what the handling is like !!

All that weight on one side, and the LPG surging back and forth under acceleration/braking.

Much prefer mine "across" the boot .. :)

Not sure that gas tank complies with regs?  In fact, some may say its downright dangerous....

I sure as hell wouldnt want to sit in the drivers seat, or behind the driver with that missile primed and ready to launch!

With milage like that though you're not buying to drive, more to strip for parts.  Could be a nice little earner for someone  :y

is it just me  or does that yellow hose look suspiciously like a garden hose?

I reckon it's for syphoning (other peoples) petrol to maintain that mileage! ;D ;D ;)
