Sorry: a bad play on words - sort of like that famous designer Dusty Bonnet. As in, "that's a whole mess o' Bondo on that there car".

Thank you, thank you - I'll be here all week

Ah! I'm guessing 'bondo' might be Americano for 'filler' - in the same way that 'jello' is apparently jam?

Yes on the first part - Bondo is a widely-used filler.

No on the second part. "Jelly" is similar to jam;. "Jello"  is flavored gelatin.

It's got the look of a Reliant Sabre.  Is it perhaps the Israeli cousin, the Sabra?
