	As described... Ford Fiesta Mk4 with a twin turbo Audi V6 3.2 litre mid mounted. Blimey. Imagine that made as a road legal package... If Mad Max came from Sleaford.

	I'm guessing it's a grasstracker, I love the box section cage!

	The Audi grille works surprisingly well!

	I'm not sure that counts as a firewall... What a totally bonkers bit of kit.

	I love that there's still some absolutely insane curse word build cars in grass tracking. It used to be quite prevalent in drag racing but the rules have become that stringent that it's mostly disappeared.

	Saw this at Sturgate and spoke to the driver. Used to do grasstracking many years ago when there were loads of these sort of 'creations' rather than bought megabuck cars. Used to run a VW Karmann Ghia (when they were cheap..!!) fitted with a lotus twin cam engine (when they were cheap) mated to the VW box via a Hewland adaptor plate (probably the most expensive part of the transplant)... With triumph 2000 rad in 'redesigned' nose.

	I remember even in the early 2000s you'd see some stuff racing and think "I wouldn't even drive that to the shops never mind trying to go fast" Definitely a lot better quality of build than there used to be.
