That's awesome. Needs a Merit-spec shell with greyed bumper inserts and a 1.5D badge, though... ;)

Fair enough if you have the time and money to spend/waste.  But can he seriously expect anyone to part with over 7 grand for this?

Because its shite....?   IMO of course.  :) (  ;D  )

Not one WWD axle but two. 4wd axles are supposed to be linked. To give a measured amount of drive to each wheel. No? That could have all 4 wheels driving in opposite directions for all we know. ;D ...much less different power output levels front and rear with no way of linking them...rear wheels trying to overtake the front perhaps?

...which could be quite amusing in a wide open space with nout to hit, I suppose. :y

Can you imagine the heat and racket from the rear engine?


Admire the determination to finish a project. But...

Wouldn't mind a go though. :-X ;)

I like it, it's really subtle.

There is a long history of twin engined cars, it's been done sveral times with Minis. John Cooper was nearly killed in one when each engine selected different gears.

Have a google for 'wolfrace sonic' for a really impressive twin engined car. And then check out some of Nick Butler's other creations.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
