they are great fun to drive! just a bigger version of the classic mini. the vvc powerd ones are scream when you nail that pisstaker.
they make great second cars too! i wouldnt run one now as a primary car as they have been thru that now and deserve to come out to play on a week end.
only thing matt is suspention you need to find a garage that will pump these up or buy a pump. they are not as easy to lower, as you cannot just drop the fluid out of them. you got to degass and cut the cones and rods. then pump it back up,
i think i may have another couple of years with mine sadly, as they are very very light in scrappies up here. most of these cars were scrapped 9 to 10 years ago, when you could see 15+ in scrappies.
