They're great cars I really want to know where the turbo one me, my dad and his mate built is was as quick as my dads 21 turbo up to 100mph and would pull an easy 150mph.

A mate of mine had one of the fiorst, placed hs order as soon as he saw the concept car. fast forward a decade and a bit and he does the same thing with the Avantime. Me, I like the Prarie and the Dodge Caravan / Plymouth Voyager  especially in turbo and woodgrain version...   |

Plastic bodies - but presume that there is some shonky French metal under there somewhere. Yes like this one-bodys straight but the one bit of metal (fuel cap cover) is rusty paintworks curse word too.   |

I once got totally panned on VZi for bigging up the turbo+wood version and it's ability to do 12s with little effort. The general theme was "why would you want to buy that strange foreign car? It'll be no good at drag racing and it looks odd." I just laughed at the irony of that on a VW forum. |

I liked this, but tbh mainly because they ruined it.  Cheaper than the sbarro thing, and achieves the same effect (Ie you get cold, wet and laughed at) |

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

come on guys its got to be a prairie ive always dreamt of ca18det 200sx powered prarie plus it will bolt straight in damn it - we had a soooooper low miles minter of one in work for a service, real nice old chap - it was his pride and joy - we were all laffing at his hammerited wheels and shocks on friday afternoon - monday he'd died! ooops! - but his son came for it - I reckon a 200sx motor's one would be about the best sleeper ever!! - kev |

Making me wish I had some photos of Dads Nissan Prarie he mildly customised when new.
An early one, plain white.
Given 14" steels with white moon discs, White Frt air-dam, Covered over main grille flush with moulded headlight covers reaching to bumper & body (no tacky light surrounds), pulling the frt shape out a little closer to the bumper.
Flimsy piece of tin though like the Pulsar floorpan they were based upon, minus the strength of 'B' pillars.
Put the stereo on & watch the door skins move!
