Every once in a while someone builds a totally insane but unique car that any pterol head would want to have a blast in... this is one of those times.

The only other that springs to mind in this sort of league is the american guy that strapped a jet engine to the back of his pickup and crashed it half way up a mountain.

Hopefully this never happens to you my friend as i'm looking forward to your future "projects".

Lol you waste no time mate!
Blow a piston (or three!), engine out and stripped, fixed and back in to more than likely add more madness to the mix!
