Given my recent gearbox woes this one is staying strictly on the flat stuff. Would be nice to beat an M03 though

You know, it would be quite funny if you ran it with a truck body... Backwards!

Did the Manta Ray come with a wing? You could mount it backwards too

Clearly I have gone entirely mad and forgotten what the word "beautiful" means.

Think beautiful in a VW Beetle kind of way as opposed to the outstanding beauty of an Auburn 851 Speedster.

Quirky and different can be attractive qualities in a car. Don't you belong to the C4 PICASSO owner's group? You should know a little about enjoying a car that's let's say... not exactly conventionally beautiful.

Dave, the second generation Multipla might be less "ugly", but also way more boring. I have no issues with the Multipla, if you are going to do quirky it might as well be "HOLLY F**INK SHIT! WTF IS THAT!?!?!?!" quirky.

The thing about the Chuckle Bus Dave is that its so ugly its cool. The new Multiplas are just like any other MPV.

That can be true I can think of many cars that are so butt ugly that they move into cool territory.

Then again, others are just butt ugly... It is a blurry line.

IMHO the FWD buggy is ugly in a good way.

Well it ran (into the back of Charlie's FF01) but definately needs tweaking. Tried various tyre combinations and seems to work best with Schumacher Venoms up front and Ballistic greens on rear. Main problem is a complete lack of low-speed steering. Have moved the front shocks right in on the bottom but the limited steering lock seems to be causing it.

Yes! I can offer them to you in any compound (Yellow, Silver, White) and all with very low mileage. Just let me know & I will happily supply them.

Mansfield mcc have used the venom tires for months but they do use additive for the first 2 rounds any more and they suffer grip roll. Obviously this is only available to use on club nights, I did find they tires got better round by round not using additive.
