    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!
    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.

    I hope you're leaving room for a bike or two in the back of that motohome? 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!

    Yip they'll be room for a bike too.

    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.
