Very nice although not sure I approve of the choice of running gear?

Nice price? Its advertised elsewhere for £19500! I don't like it myself. Just a fibreglass delivery van thats a bit lower at the front.

I suppose it's nice if you like that kind of thing (I don't) but I am amazed at how much people are bidding for it, totally amazed

Our local council vans were all that colour up to this year, kind of put me off a bit.

Lets not beat about the bush - Its different, but awful. Looks like some kids cozy coupe! I'd rather have a citroen picasso!

The fact its so different, makes it very cool!

Different to what, though?

I thought the 'hot-rod' thing had been done to death, and using shall we say 'unusual' cars as a base has been too.

If it were in red it would just need Postman Pat and his Black and White cat

i agree

hmm.

Not keen.

Personally I like hotrods to look like they've been made by someone with a bucketload of skill out of metal.

That to me, looks like a toy car that's been attacked with a heat gun.

Obviously, a considerable amount of time, money and skill has gone into it, but the end result isn't to my taste.

For a start it needs to be black and have flames down the sides

The engine is just wrong. Hotrods need big V8's not mad turbocharged 4 pots.
