i like it!!! looks wrong because of where the back door is though, should have a proper back door from a saff at the back of the car rather than in the middle

Is it the same car ? the plates are different, the 1 at central day definately didn't have a YB in it as it did the quarter in about 26 secs.

Look lads this was some kinda boggo 2.0 auto pinto sierra. For what it was picked up for and with having a kit and wheels at ur side why not make it look into a saph cossy? this is more of a project car its driven everyday and has been YB'd wouldn't say its mint mint but is more for a good laugh and a bit of fun...

Love it or hate it lads but you can get 6-8 ppl in it, go where you want and have a gud laugh in it knowing ppls will be like WTF and you've got the power there aswell

Keep an eye out for a super minter show worthy one. Tacky wounldn't need to describe it
