Ben that's neat it's the sort of thing you'd expect to see in Malaysia as a taxi bumping around the streets etc.
If it made it down under not sure how it swould get a compliance rating, most likely a restricted RV license as to no side barrier protection, still it would be fun for those rich folk who could afford it! I'll bet the umbrellas are an option Richard
