    I was expecting a V8 in the back, the following line made me chuckle though.

    Along the same lines watch this one

    It's a shame about the crappy looking vents, it would have made and awesome sleeper!

    Now that's a car that needs a roll cage. All these barry boys strip out classic hot hatches and stick in a cage for looks, with that it's a necessity... :hehe:

    Never mind. It's a stretched limo - sold on eBay for 1K pounds.

    Wider front wheel?! I think I'd rather go with a skinny one that will understeer, it's probably safer than rolling every time you smell a roundabout :)

    I hope you're joking, this is Mr Beans car.

    I was thinking last night how hard adding longer rear suspension would be, that can be extended /shortened by hydraulics and have it lean round corners...

    Robin reliant kitten with one of those engines in would be awesome. Apparently almost nothing handles as well as a kitten.

    I'm not joking, I know Mr. Bean drives a Mini with the padlock on the side, I'm talking about the car he always backs into and pushes out of it's parking spot.

    Pretty hard I'd imagine, both in technical difficulty and ride stiffness :)

    Probably pretty heavy as well.
    While i am impressed with the spec of the thing, i'd still rather drive something more.... good looking, i suppose...

    Looks pretty cool but did they use house paint for the paint job. it looks like crap


    Don't get me started on the fake vents (peel and stick)
