Yikes!! Does it even move? It needs its own personal portable hole.

That's ridiculous!

[Whubbsie]

I'm all for the low...but his practically sitting with his knees behind the back of his head to drive it... that bits just stupid

[Mrk_Mickey]

Oooh I dunno, looks as though he's just got a leg up in the photo. Looks pretty roomy to me!

I wish he'd have used a more fitting steering wheel though...it's the ONE thing on the car that isn't whacky. Otherwise it's a fantastic effort and I love it!

I'm guessing all that cantilever suspension and airbag plumbing stuff means he can pump up the suspension height so it isn't actually sitting on the ground and therefore he can drive it.

I appreciate it when people go way out in a particular direction just to show what can be done, even when it isn't something I'd do myself, so good luck to him for having the balls to do wwhat he wants to do
