Superlight: -

ENGINE:
XPower 1.8 litre K-Series

My experiance with british cars it that they are really great once you pull the drivetrain and electrics and some suspension parts and put in American and german stuff.

Brit cars are really pretty.... well... till you showed a picture of that hidious thing.

A brit car not made to be pretty? What is the point? Next it will be raining frogs.

we have these things called corners on our roads, if you can imagine your long straight roads but change direction frequently.... they are made to go round those

corners are ok... they give you something to accelerate out of.

No no no. Corners give you somewhere to get your knee down.

Honestly

GHAY!!!

How in the name of god can you get the wonderful feel of a chick stratteling you and holding on nice and tight when you give a little gas like you do on a street bike in that POS???

Chit, they can keep it. And I'll keep my gixer.

If you rolled up to the local hangout with that thing around here the laides would laugh till they collapsed.

Oh one more thing....

"not as exciting as a bike... Yeah right."

Ever been up on 1 at 120mph? Please.

I equate this to someone buying an H2 rather than an H1 Hummer. Either go all the way or not at all.

Ok sorry. Im done. Bye
