Doubtful that an empeg would be useful-

Thought it was funny.
Didn't care for the soundtrack.
Is Andy up for a motor swap??

I wonder if thats a Barbus option?

I wouldn't like to drive that on the open road, my Smart handles pretty badly at anything but normal boring driving, so I bet that thing is mental to drive !!!

Great clip! Thanks

Cheers

Cris.

You're right the music sucks!

That's the first time I've seen one in action, but I've read about a hayabusa engined one, although that one was still a two seater which retained the instrument pod and the original shifter. The guy in that video appeared to using two sticks, I wonder wether one of them's a clutch control?

Hardly a daily driver, I doubt you could drive it in a straight line on full throttle without spinning out.

The one good thing about the recent cold snap is that it's getting easier to get a bit of sideways action (for all of 2 seconds).. I considered buying a little gizmo that allows you to switch the traction control in and out. Combine that with an evil twin remap it could really be fun.
