I love this car, I haven't commented on it yet but have had quite a few discussions about it at Area 52. The fact that it exists and pushes the boundaries is enough to make it mega cool. Without this kind of craziness making us question and challenge the very ethos of car modifying then the whole thing becomes stale and uninteresting. So why am I bumping this thread after nearly a whole month since the last post? Because to me it's the most bonkers thing I've seen since discovering Boso cars a good few years ago (look at all the hate they got back then but are much loved now...sound familiar?) ...and also because I found this today: Right, I'm off to carry out some less extreme mods to some of my cars this weekend while others, no doubt, will be too busy extolling their views on how dangerous this car is. Get out there and have some fun with your motors folks...that's what it's all about.

i'm all for folks expressing their idea's and having fun,
just remember,
if you modify your car to the point where it becomes dangerous and the handling is unpredictable,
that kid you hit stood at the bus stop,
might just have a battle damaged, brutal,dangerous and highly motivated and vengeful father.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

causes harm or death to my child,

your wife and children too,
while you watch.

every time I see this shape of celica now, every single time, I find myself saying out loud
'needs more camber...'
I think it's ace - and it's not my usual cup of tea at all!

It's worth remembering, this is probably how most people driving boring econoboxes see our cars..
Although I can't say I "like" it, I'm glad something so silly exists.
