Aim:

1.) To create something subtle but will still drop people's jaw to the ground if they look closely.
2.) To have something uniquly different. But not in your face.
3.) Something more refined & get power to the ground that can be used.
4.) Something that will still seat the family. So will need space for 4 bums.
5.) Something that will be home on the track, drag strip & still pass each time a policeman decides to pull me over & try to defect me.
6.) Something NOT running a ROTOR!


Sounds like a Moke dropped onto a turbo WRX engine with AWD to me...... :lol:

If it is that, he'll probably get it finished before Mike's build (awdmoke on the forums). He's been going on that same WRX/AWD Moke build since ~2005 but I don't think progress has moved since 2007-2008.
