Four wheeled Bond Bug based on a Rebel chassis instead of a Regal. There's on in Car and Classic for £750.

It's about £700 overpriced unless you value restoration projects.

It's a cut and shut Kitten with the original Bond reg? You're probably right.

I'd drop one of Shaun from BigCC Racing's supercharged V-Max engines in there connected directly to the axle via a reco-prop and go quarter mile munching.

A few years ago, while I still owned my first Legacy, I swore blind to a chap in my office that what he saw on his way to work couldn't have been a Subaru because I knew they only (then) sold 4 varieties of car in this country (Justy, Imprezza, Forester and Legacy).

Turns out a Subaru SVX was exactly what he saw and I ate humble pie.

A guy down the road has just sold his - very odd car. He's kept up the "odd" thing by buying a very rare Nissan 350GT. I was more than a little gutted to have to look it up to find out what it was!!

MR2 Turbo. Were they ever sold here? Seems like nearly everyone on here has had one, but I don't remember ever seeing one at a Toyota dealer. Are they all grey imports or have they just slipped under my radar.

I think they hold a lot of interest for PH'ers, who love mid-engined cars. The fact that Toyota were brave enough to stick a big turbo in the back of the MR2 as well is pretty interesting, there aren't that many turbo powered mid-engined sports cars when you think about it. Certainly not many you can pick up for a couple of grand!

Infact I learned about the Mad Max connection from the 'Love The Beast' film

you've never seen Ronin then?

Nope

Am I about to get a beating?

If you haven't seen Ronin, you've suffered enough!

Fixed that!

Come on! What is it with Ronin? It's got one, rather meh car chase it and the rest of the film is Euro B-movie, at best.

Most over-rated film ever? Probably not, but possibly on PH

Go rent it, you might love it, but it doesn't deserve the praise it gets and for me belongs in the same category as "All proper Pistonheads must have owned an Alfa" - Another Clarkson peddled nonsense.
