Aaaah! Too many pictures!

But you designed and built it yourself... and dropped in an engine capable of 350hp? I suppose I could do that, given a couple of days and some beer... *Laugh*

Watch yourself. I'm pretty sure there's a reason the Ariel guys didn't start stuffing high-HP engines into their Atoms.

Well, I guess the "affirmatively unemployable" status I have here in my beloved home country, is not that bad after all...

I now work for myself, doing what I love best and I can take a coffee brake every 10 minutes, if I so please. of coarse nothing is said about the 8am to 11pm 7days a week routine.... and being your own boss just means you ain't going to get away with nothing....

It seems nice, unless you need to work hard enough to be really successful. wink

Any chance of you sending me the plans/blueprints for that car? I work in a steel mill. *Laugh* Having something like THAT as a track/play car would be great...
