	Porsche 924 - gone Citroen Saxo VTR - not very retro but I loved it - now gone... MK4 Golf GTi 1.8T - gone but hardly remembered... Mini Cooper S R53 - gone BMW 125d Coupe - gone (mostly sideways) Ford Focus RS Mk1 - hello low MPGs and "wanna race me" at every set of lights... 1973 BMW 2002 - Twin 40's, 284 Cam, Revolutions, E21 Recaros + more Porsche Cayman 987 3.4S - here and due to cost me more money than I have

	Some very nice work gone into this. I cannot for the life of me see any benefit in that front suspension design though!

	It's awesome, but still don't get why people build twin engined cars it's been proven as a curse word system to get more power time and again. Matt

	It could do with 2dr door stretch (from a golf 3dr) now they have gone that far, that and fattend pillars to go with the coming arches. Could be smart, and fun!
