Excellent little run-around, unless you are over 6ft tall in which case you'll smash your head on the roof each time you get in or out

lovely cars, based on the fez's floor plan ao handles a treat too. them 1.7's have a bit of potential too. pumaspeed can turn a normal puma into a FRP or 4wd cossie rocket ship.
