Well I think he has cracked car security with that one, no self respecting thief would be seen dead in that... I like it.

The novelty has already worn off for me, and that's with only flicking through the pics.

The two things I think I know about the rat scene are

1. It's very much a VW thing

2. They're supposed to be sleepers, or at least have some sleeperish qualities on the outside.

I hope the seller finds the buyer for him/her and good luck to them. They might need it.

Most of it is pretty meh.. Ive seen more intriguing rat cars (a scene which in general is pretty overdone and boring)

The gear lever was pretty cool though, never seen that before. hehe

Shame its an auto and wont get much use (or perhaps its better that its an auto, cant imagine manual would be easy!)

I can sort-of understand why you might want to take a car and 'rat' it. For the life of me cannot understand why anyone might want to buy one from someone else!

That poor old Merc must be thinking "How did it come to this?". There needs to be an RSPCM
