Then you also have the problems of engineers certificates, for the roll bars etc etc etc

Unless you have the $$$ and plenty of spare time, then is it really worth doing??

hmmmmm Piers' car looks quite good

Having been a lucky little git, I've driven this and can confirm it goes like poo off a pointy stick too... Stroked 5ltr / Blower / FMIC / Kleenex !!!!!
Makes the blown 4ltr brigade look like a bunch of Hyundia Excel owners

Back seats aren't worth spit anymore though !

Paperwork showed the total cost at well over $100k !!!

Ouch. (the price)
Looks like I will have to install a fan if I want the rush of the wind through my hair.
My next car will have to be a soft top. Maybe import a celica.

The top up on the white one looks good but I don't like the look of the back seat or the boot, doesn't look like there is room for anything.

The rear side windows look particularly interesting, considering they appear retractable.

the shot of the white one from the front/side with the top up looks similar to a dodge viper.

I'd love to have that bonnet.
Dodge Viper, also a bit of Mustang maybe.

The rear quarter windows certainly are retractable... and electric
