As frustrating and as much of a pain in the bum the IVA test is, when you see stuff like that I'm glad we have it!!

I was going to point out the seagull poo welding, but it looks more like an ostrich's first dump of the day

Can't see a problem with that...

Upper rear 'bones are a novel solution.

Just love the torsionally sprung wishbones...

Anyway, to get around the problem of 'legalising' such things, we simply utilise a little ingenuity. Attempts are then usually made to sell such heaps (we've all seen the adverts), by the criminals, for eye watering expectational levels.

holy poo those wishbones!

I'd like to see how much more of that thing have been bodged to similar proportions.

Whoever made that should never be allowed to fabricate again
oh wait

So as I'm a mech engineering student too, but have designed something 'slightly' better i wonder where that puts me for the future...

Although i'm a bit disappointing the story doesn't really continue
