Lovely that. The ultimate Ferrari. The only thing that trumps it is the McLaren F1 for me.

I think the vent looks ok. Maybe try and add a bit more yellow somewhere else to help tie it in. And Michelins hey...check you out lol. I need to buy some tyres. They are depressingly expensive!

Yes, think I read that somewhere before. I do have to giggle. The "RWD is better" argument pops up a lot on pistonheads. You get people who act like every car must have a 500bhp V8 and RWD, but then complain that a 250bhp FWD car has too much torque steer to handle lol. Both are good in my...

You'd think that every owner of a RWD car was broadside around every roundabout on their way to work every morning the way they talk about how much better it is lol.

Bet that's a slightly different drive to the Clio lol Looks well.

Have a word. Monaco has nothing on Mondial.

Nice to see another rally type here. Look forward to seeing what you do with this.

Looks lovely that. They look great in white with the spoiler and black wheels.

Just fit standard pins on the back. Aero catches are a waste of time on the rear (and probably the front in reality lol).

Bargain! I would really like a VTS. If you get bored, let me know lol

You can say "so-and-so is better/faster", but I suspect this engine has been built to compete in a particular class of racing, so comparing it to a turbocharged unit is probably pretty pointless, as it would likely never compete against one. Based on my limited knowledge of drag racing in the...

Being as it's a drag racing engine, I suspect it's in a class for normally aspirated motors.

That seems a mental number. The likes of Millington over here aren't getting 400bhp from their biggest four pots I don't think. Bet that isn't a cheap engine anyway.

Yeah I expect it will happen.

Strong money but will absolutely transform it. They are crying out for wider arches. Add those, cup spoiler and decent wheels with a slight drop and it would be a brilliant looking car.

I don't mind the vents and wheels in black, ties in with the rest of the gloss black parts.

New one will be 4WD I believe. Some kind of transverse, Haldex (or similar) type arrangement.

The laying card thing really does bring joy to my heart. So simple.

That's a compromise I can live with!

This is where they really belong ;)

Sorry to see this. Hopefully you can make it a bit harder for them in future. I would recommend paneling inside of the door, and then fill the cavity with dirty needles. Or really poisonous spiders or something.

Surely that's just a disaster waiting to happen, putting all that power through those skinny tyres. Has it had much done to the suspension?

That looks absolutely spot-on.

My step dad had a couple of these many years ago. I seem to remember he spent a lot of time fixing them lol

Yeah, as above, not sure I could have three phase 1s but fair play. The sunflower and M5 would do me nicely.

That's ridiculous. I love it.

Would certainly be interested to see this!

MK4 doesn't suffer the same issues as the MK3 I don't think. I'd take that over the Volvo in a heartbeat to be honest. As it's a daily, I'd take modern refinement all day long.

Quite a few rally folk involved with development of this it seems. Sounds like they are going for a real sim feel with it.

Those things were just a brilliant drive generally. Needed a bit more power, but a great little car overall.
