If it was rear, it would probably worse, remember the Golf on TG, the chassis was too short & the back would overtake the front ;D

must have had one hell of a shoe horn!!

Good on the owner though, he/she has kept exterior styling to a minimum. Looks like a standard Corsa almost!  :y

Yes, but you and I know that if you hit something/someone, you would end up losing your house.

Or, in your case, houses. :P

If you think that's a hand full, try 300 bhp with a wheel missing! clicky (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOND-BUG-HAYABUSA-TURBO-WITH-PURPOSE-BUILT-TRAILER_W0QQitemZ170278501039QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item170278501039&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318)   :o  :o   :y  :y  :y

A good mate, who's had a few of the normal 30 something bhp Bugs had a ride in it. He was speechless when he got out  ;D. It was up to silly mph on the back roads in a blink!! He intended taking video, but he very soon forgot about it ... the camera filmed loads of his feet!!  ;D  ;D  ;D

I'm inclined to agree, but having said that the build quality is fantastic.

300BHP in such a small car, I think he will get his mony for it, they go for about half that in standard form.

Thinking about it, reminds me of a Road Wars clip that showed the police having difficulty catching up with a souped up 3 wheeler. ;D ;D ;D

The only common item between a standard Bond Bug & this one is the GRP body. The real one is a folded light weight steel chassis & the Hayabusa Bug is a tubular chassis complete  with roll over bars, welded up Cossie diff etc etc There's a lot more rubber in contact withthe ground too.
Conversation apparantly though is impossible, due to the noise & grin terror factor.  ;D  ;D
