I thought this car on ebay deserved a spot in this thread. I actually like the concept and it would look sweet if pulled off a little cleaner.

Just found this thread due to the recent bump... that one up there reminds me of America's got talent for some reason... [X]

on another topic... back many years in the past... Wow, all that hacking and the car now weighs 31 pounds!? (typos! Love them :D)

I liked that typo, the car weighing "31 lb 5 oz". Wow, talk about your weight GAIN, not loss!

Also, no doubt shortening the wheelbase might've been one of the key reasons why the car drove "twitchy" even on grippy tracks.

Hi! The rumour has it some guy on this forum are making replicas of the srb "butterfly" chassis. Does anyone know how to get in touch with him?

Thanks, Mattias
