b00sted Re: Messing around with Photoshop... February 11, 2013 04:04PM Registered: 10/21/2011 Posts: 216 Seems like it would be a fun car for Group 5. The 1.6 turbo motors sound like they're pretty stout with the addition of some aftermarket rods. Not sure what the transmissions or suspension design is like though.

You gotta make sure and put a pink flower in the vase while you are rallying. It's FWD so it can't be that fun. I can't imagine with the shape having a decent cage that didn't make you feel similar to how you would feel if you were trying to have sex in a very uncomfortable place, like the back seat of a Volkswagen...

b00sted Re: Messing around with Photoshop... February 11, 2013 05:13PM Registered: 10/21/2011 Posts: 216 I'll never build/own one...But for something to play around with in photoshop, why not... I like Hondas when it comes to FWD(just due to the huge availability of factory/aftermarket parts), and BMW E36 cars for RWD(Kern's car looks like a blast). Edited 1 time(s).

I thought I saw it last sitting on the side of a driveway for sale. I don't see why you couldn't put a good cage in it. Lot's of headroom.
