horrid little cars. seen a few at the kit car shows and really can't see the point in them what so ever. they look nothing like the original, all look like they are made from sticky back plastic and old carrier bags and most of them are never finished!

The reason is that these came out around the same time as the audi tt so could be built for a tenth of the price. The trouble is that most have taken that long to build

It's a Metro under there (or Rover 100).

It does look very much like a StreetKA though. Should just buy one of those!

Right, I get why people would make replica Ferraris and the like. But for the love of God I can't work out why some mongtard would spend £7k on a shitty Metro to build a replica of a car you can buy for about £4k.
