I have to say they do have some really innovative ideas, those cars are soooooo ugly though.

Wouldn't start. Had no feed to the solenoid on the starter motor. He didn't want me find the cause as he had his own mechanic. Just put another wire to the solenoid and touched it on the positive battery terminal to start.

Complete pain in the arse to get to the starter though!
