Sorry to hear about your poor experience with the frame dude. what exactly is crooked on it? is it not shutting square or not sitting square to the body.

The issue could be with the hinge.

sorry for late reply. It is warped a bit due to welding I guess. Not closing properly in the middle. Hinge is okay and not the issue. Also sides of frame are warped a bit inwards.

We had a chance to test it and as it turned out it isn't waterproof either. The fabric is (as good as it can be), but the way it is supposed to be sealed against the frame is just a joke. Okay for a bit of dew and light rain, but it did not withstand the heavy UK rain end of September. But had plenty of chances to dry it out the last two weeks

I really like the Drivelodge price, only downside is the lack of roof-rackery that will result in having one.

Poppin rovers seems good, but I'd need to find a shed to do it in... especially one where it's taken on with the understanding that it should only be a weekend or 2's job for a normal person, but it'll take me 5 months because I'll

something up...

So then xvx seems good as does alucab, but v spendy...

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black

Some of the European ones do look good, but the added hassle of exchange rate, tax and duty etc puts me right off. And then what happen if there are issues and it needs to go back?

So for me, if I get a lottery win it's Alucab' if not it's Poppin Rovers. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS
