First guess is that part of it is a snake, a big one.  Perhaps a boa constrictor.

The yellow bit with windows behind could be part of a small car.

Or it could be a baby boa wrapping itself round a toy car, or a pair of yellow goggles...

Fancy bras, they are constrictors!

Any more clues

OK, zooming the picture up, the yellow object has what appears to be an amber reflector of some sort at the bottom - perhaps an indicator light on some kind of vehicle.

I don't think it is a real snake wrapped round something, I think it is some kind of advertising wrap on the side of something.  But what?....

Two yellow buses or one yellow bus with a fake constrictor wrapped around it

That was a fluke guess from me, I kept thinking of the buses down each facing each other!

I'll send you some constrictors if you like Wolfie lol

Well done Babs,
And Wow, what a team!! Intrepid offered to send a burger a while back, now Babs is offering to send some "constrictors". I really don't know how I could use them Babs, especially if they look like that.

I'm thinking I could really do with a live hands on refresher course  :P
I did visit the Ex in AKL some 3 months ago, but there were no offers of any additional training.  :)

Cheers
