Don't see anything like them these days.
Also, as I'm an ex Max Power reader I remember some rumours of a Fiat Uno with a quad turbo V12 from a Bugatti EB110, how true they were I don't know but it was apparently sold to some Sheikh before any pics could be taken![confused](/inc/images/confused.gif)
finally some of Ian's creations have made it here. Seeing these things run the 1/4 mile is a pretty special site.2 x 2.0ltr turbos.

Always good to meet a fellow fan, it's been sold a couple of times since he built it I think. It was a bit of a sleeper as well.Are there any pics of his rear engined, Rwd polo? Looked mad seeing a polo go sideways.

Or if that's not to your taste how about a VR6 Lupo?

I'm sure I remember from reading Max Power that it was one of their staff (Hans?) that owned the Bugatti engined Uno?

And the UNO never had anything other than a crap Fiat engine, it was some bizarre lie that kept going.

Sorry, thought they were turbo'd. I always thought there was a hint of white elephant to the Uno, no pics ever surfaced and they were very vague when writing about it. But at least I know I'm not going mental and someone else remembers it as well And the UNO never had anything other than a crap Fiat engine, it was some bizarre lie that kept going.
