What would your good lady say if you purchased that? mind you, it is a family friendly convertible ;)
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

I said the same thing to my missus. The toned down, politer version of the reply was posted earlier.... :lol:

Now if anyone has a nice lightweight with a V6 conversion they want taking off their hands, or a 101 or a LWB ambulance I do now have permission :thumbs:

John, If you don't fancy a fibreglass mini any more, how about a Smartstang / Mustart

:shock: That's wrong enough to be going on with. :lol:
The only modified Smart I ever really liked was this one, properly rebodied and very successful on the 12 car scene back in the day:

My miniCord isn't a problem as long as I don't want to use it on the roads or take photos of it - which, as a perceived act of espionage, carries a maximum sentence of many years imprisonment in a particularly smelly gaol where - shockingly - you aren't even assured of a sea view, or a fine of several million Bolívar, which today are worth £0.10 and can't be transferred to my Royal Bank current account here in the UK. The term "Oh Bugger" comes to mind.
Still, booze is cheap enough over yonder and the women are very accommodating once they quit asking whither I know some geezer called Sean Connery? :?

Looks like a T-Rex ate a mustang and that's what was left behind a few days later after a good strain.
