Well it's almost a bike. Shit it was fun and I was laughing at how ridiculous, yet very practical this car is. Yes, people point and laugh, but I'm used to this and it doesn't bother me anymore.

It's got some up and go too. You can get the back end out no problem. I'm going to use it for a new motorhome project. It will drive into a rear garage in the back rather than towing it. It means when we arrive at a destination, we won't need to drive a 37 foot motorhome 20k's to get beer.

Laugh all you like. It's bitchin.

Dover, you're not thinking. Imagine the Asian chicks we could pull in this. We'd just have to taxi them home.

Pwhoar . . . 45kw! Fark, hold me back . . .

Sounds like a prime candidate for a 'busa engine. Seriously Finn, you're looking at a car that's got less than half the horsepower of your bike, despite the fact its even got a turbo??

That's what the "motorhome" is really, isnt it - a mobile salon. You've changed professions and become a hairdresser!

Getting the Brabus one?

How about doing it the other way around and getting a proper Brabus to tow the motor home?

No withstanding the Smart Car, I have a total of 1255hp in my garage so you could hardly call me HP deficient. Besides, the Ferarri won't fit in the Motorhome.

After doing 1500kms around the Sth Is. in a 4-berth campervan some years back, I was keen on buying one too. I have no doubt you'll have some great travel adventures.

As for the lil' car, imo it's in the same boat as the Fiat Bambina, Honda City, Diahatsu Mira, et al...all death machines if you have a semi-bad crash. You may want to install roll bars! :shit:

As for the safety aspect, i've survived years of drinking, drugs, stress, unprotected sex and motorbikes so no lil Smary Car is gonna take me out.

You got me there.

It won't be used as an eveyday car, just for when we're using the Motorhome. It can't be any more dangerous than a bike.

I'll remember that when I'm up and down the country meeting KB'ers that have been mean to me. Can't wait to meet SpudChucker. I'm going to pull his moustache and kick him in the chins.

You'll also want to leave the rear view mirror on the night time setting, so the reflection from the chrome dome doesn't blind the driver ;)

And I quote Captain James T Kirk (kicks alien in the back of the knee) "not all Aliens have their genitals in the same place"
Alien rolls around howling...

Moral of the story, make sure you get the right chin :)

Just saw one stuffed into a median barrier at 115 km/h on 5th Gear. The doors still opened, the occupants would still be dead though.
