Has anybody else seen the specs and photos for this?
Just thinking about this car makes me smile and giggle like a schoolkid, 1000bhp per ton, this is my new dream car!!

Just when you think that the human race is doomed to destroy itself in some stupid manor, a car like this comes along and renews the faith that we'll at least look like we enjoyed doing it.

Isn't it great? In a world full of all this PC bullc**p, and health and safety etc etc, people can still make cars like this! I'm glad there still some mad people in the world who come up with the designs like this! :twisted:
