Why do I hear a manical Dr Evil type laugh when I see the pictures of a bare shell and mention of the engine from the silver beast being transplanted.

I think a fire breating red monster will be forthcoming, lovely.

Defo grey then!

It would look strange if you were to paint it a blue, that's so close to scooby blue.

David,

the best weight for a working quick car is just over 800kgs!!! It is Rigoli car - so you have the hurdle set.

Mind you those holes in the sills will take about 20kgs off.
