That kind of remind me of this one that I had back in the 80's. It wasn't as fast at 146 mph top end, but it was a blast to drive and when you took the body panels off of it, the look was very similar, with the tube frame and a whole lot less expensive too. I couldn't fit in that car now if I wanted to, if you look at some of the PREVIOUS photos in that album, you will see that I was a good twenty pounds or so lighter back then. Check out;
 
I always wondered what it would be like to drive it on the street, other than the road in front of my house where we used to TEST it. I wonder how many race cars and race bikes are TESTED on local roads when no one is watching, I would suspect quite a few of them. Luckily the road out in front here is a dead end with very little traffic, but long enough to get the car up into fourth and have time to stop.............BONZI!!!!!!!!!
