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

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.
