poor little thing's had his bum cut off....and made into a common ute.

Next some bugger will be throwing tools in the back intead of a Fortnums hamper and put a bar over the roof to support 'building materials' ....

Looking at the photo, I am not sure if it is an Elf Turned into a Ute Or a Ute with an Elf Front ( is that Some sort of hinge set up I can see at the front of the Door ??? )
