You obviously have never driven a metro with the vvc engine in it. ****ing ballistic cars and handle like a go cart. Will scare an awful lot of scoobys in the right circumstances. My mate had one and it was insane

No i haven't but im not stupid enough to believe they dont have potential! The joke is on the ad more so than the actual car itself Im sure its probably pretty quick but seriously would you buy anything off this guy?!

That guy's spelling would have put me straight off buying the car. I would get a Scooby, over that, any day of the week.

FFS I hope his mechanics skills are betting than his spelling - wouldn't buy a BIC biro off of him with an advert like that.

Even the title is wrong: .....NO SWAPS ALOUD

Maybe the advert is crap etc. Unfortunately there is nothing special about people writing poor adverts like that. It seems like the education system really has failed most people who use ebay and pistonheads etc!

But as for the car (ihavent seen the photos I'm on my mobile so it won't load) but metros with the 160vvc engine in there actually have a better power to weight ratio than scoobies. And honestly would worry most scoobies of standardish power on the road. It is not all about the big number power figures I have a starlet glanza v running 200hp and that would hassle scoobies round combe all day long. Doesn't have tobe the most powerful car to go the fastest

Yea its possible it could well do 150mph, but when the hell could 15inch tyres hold enough pressure not to go pop. They was only designed to go to a speed of 100mph. No brake upgrades to help slow you down either. Anyways if you had a 350bhp subaru and this 150bhp metro, whos gonna win. Metro cant get no traction as he states in the add and im right in thinking the subaru is awd???? Pmsl so whos gonna get of the line better. Looks nice tho, just shame about the plank writing the advert

JGlanza stop telling us how mint this pile of ****e is sell your scoob buy it and be faster than us all
You never see a Scooby driver say "my cars as fast as a 160vvc metro". Its always the other way round!

End of the day, we dont compare our cars to their sh*t as we know we are the ones who set the bench mark!

The youtube video shows one of these against what looks like a standard sport at Santa pod. Look down the comments though and some chap has put "NAN! What are you doing?!"

Jglanza.. Your a funny guy, I'd rather have the engine on a mobility scooter.
And would feel safer and look more respectful doing 150 on the roads!

The only scary thing for me is that someone actually bid £1,590 for it, and reserve not met.
