Yeah it did, the birds used to love it too, i was sat at some traffic light on a saturday night and some bird started to grind on my wing!

It was alright, it was just so slow and could only take two people! i had it for three yesrs, that was plenty!

I would like to get another one day and make it into a track van roll cage right from the front to the back weld the rear shocks solid rs tub lump etc, one day anyway!
