A friend of mine had one of these - his mum rolled it when she got tangled up in a police chase. Not even joking! (she was fine btw)

It's ok as a runabout. Has the potential with a supercharged Hyabusa engine in it or some other engine conversion. I currently own a Citroen C1 so cannot complain lol.

I done a little photoshop to help - I've drank about 3/4 of Jack daniels before this so the quality aint great :/

I would beg to differ. I had a ride in an earlier incarnation (Daewoo Tico) taxi in Lima, Peru. fk me that was scary; you know somewhere's dodgy when you need to have three people in a Taxi - one to go where you're going, and two friends so that nobody ever has to travel alone in the Taxi.

Was the de-badge the first thing you did in Photoshop? wink The tint on the lights makes quite a bit of difference smile

Regretfully I'm far too powerfully built to fit in one of those. And the pedals annoy me- no travel whatsoever, they're more like buttons... I've got no chance of recovering a front end slide with a stomp of my Alpinestars. And FWD? everyone knows that people only get FWD because they're not man enough for RWD...

Funnily enough this topic has inspired me... Been debating replacing my car vs. keeping it and getting a cheap run around - this could be it..

Although talk of them rolling under performance driving conditions does concern me!

Quick update on the old sheitebox!

Now done almost 4000 miles around the country, still drive with pedal flat to the floor everywhere and it still costs nothing to run.

I have discovered it barely accelerates with the air con on and the battery doesn't start if you leave it parked at the airport in -10C for 3 weeks.

We're off to Pyeongchang, site of the 2018 Winter Olympics at the weekend. Probably a 1000km of driving in 2 days. Should be fun in the Matiz hehe

I reckon it could be vastly improved with the application of some chromed letters S M E G perhaps?
