Theres a lot of money in doing that if you can find the right car. Few members on this club have done the same and then sold the shell on. They even changed over the steering wheel :laugh:

:scared: dont think many people would like you if you start doing that. If you are wanting to make some money if your that desperate, pick up a 5 and swap the parts over to standard ones and return a 5 back to standard and sell all the none OE stuff.

They're the DVLA figures I think, so I'm guessing that's the ones in the UK. I'd love to know where they all are :scared:

people picked up on these things ages ago, mike wilson pcs or whatever blagged a few people doing it and we think its strange how it still happens.. cgb sell everything so the shoes bound to fit..

Wow that is more than I would have imagined, where on earth are they all? Surely Bob couldn't have whittled them down that much in a year.;)

Hmmm Quick? not sure you could describe him as quick.

LOL in all fairness Bob must keep as many on the road (with spares) as he takes of the road for breaking.

Theres positive and negative feedback for BOB and you have to be fair.

Breaking rotten cars is fine. To break a perfectly good car is GAY. However you can do what ya like if you own the car.

To comment on how many are acyualy left
Who on here has paper work for more r5's than
they physicaly acyualy own.

I myself own 1
on paper I think I own at least 6,
simply because I havnt sent the log book off.

So I reckon u could near on half the fvla figure

On the flip side to that, how many own one that they don't have any paperwork for? I own a gtt, but it's never been registered, so that won't be on the DVLA system.
