Not sure if this is where I want to be in a crash, but the guy's definately got some Batman fetish going on.

And it has a JET ENGINE!

I saw the back end and thought.. look at that fake nozzle, then I saw the build pics.. Sweet turbo converted to Jet.

When will Hamond get to drive it?

I wonder what it would take to build a road-legal enduro kart.

In reply to 914Driver:

It was even scarier looking before the switches/instruments. Then it was just jagged sheet metal.

makes you wonder what actually constitutes a road legal car...

Nice to see the nanny-state that is the UK has a soft spot for mad tinkers.

Per the builder - "It's a horrendous car to drive....... That's why I love it!". Now there's a GRM-worthy quote.

Correction, when will Hamond wreck it?

At 19" tall, I wonder what the wheel/tire diameter is.........

In reply to orphancars:

Specs for the car list 205-50-10's; that's meaty Mini territory.

That thing is scary low. My dog is taller than that car I don't think I could drive that thing.
