Awful. Absolutely awful.

The 550 is all about understatement and style. This is garish, vulgar and pointless.

Ugh..

Why not just buy a Mitsubushi FTO if that's the look you're after?

See, when BoBs grow up and get more money, their taste doesn't change, they just produce hideous things like that. Although it must be said the ability to make a 550 look so crap is rather astounding.

Koenig did some amazing conversions in the 80's.

Is he still around making ludicrous cars even more ludicrous?

That thing now weighs 1400kg! At least the poor mite will not get done for speeding (even with the Pug S16 engine).

I did see a Volvo F12 artic unit with the blue washer lights last night! They were mounted on the dash (because the washers are on the wiper arm I think).

Not sure but from what I can make out it has 2 Yam motorbike engines and weighs around 500kg. If it doesn't fall to bits I'd wager it's pretty damn quick.
