Comes with the optional extra (but I think the MUST HAVE) red chaser light that goes in the gap between the bonnet and the grill. If you don't have a gap get some big pliers and then start bending up the lip of the bonnet starting from the middle working out both sides about 40cm. Drill holes in the top to tie wire on the light strip and plug in the 9volt battery, when you drive you have to make the"Woo Woo" noise yourself to make it really authentic. Or alternatively you could buy one of these and sit it on the dash board and turn it on.

This sounds like a pretty cool mod Maxx, should i get a copper head gasket for my Subaru? i think it needs one, but will it need different tyres then too? it has bridgestones but my mini has dunlops. Are bridgestones heavier?

My mini needs a flux capacitor too if anyone has a spare one. If not some christmas rope light might do.

Sorry Tombo, I can't help you with the flux capacitor as I'm currently converting mine from plutonium to methane fuel at the moment. I can however suggest ex-Telecom rope as an alternative. I have an abundant supply from the good old days and I assure you that the extra nylon content will assist you in your quest for interstellar travel/time travel if that's whats your after.

Geez , here I was happy with my twin pulse jet Rover with no bonnet , boot , doors , roof , floors and interior and Dunlop Aquajet retread's to get the power to the ground ( I kept the front and rear bumbers to still stay within the ADR's ) , now I might have to upgrade to a Rolls-Royce Griffon 130 with Unimog U5000 running gear and rebuild my old Ion Infarction Modulator to help me convert G-Forces to traction in the corners , actually I,m in the garage now with my holographic mechanic Hal , may the farce be with me
.

I can see your problem Deano, the aquajets are a underwater tyre hence the aqua in the name, you should probably get a used set of Olympic Sprinters ( already worn in so nice n comfy). They are a Much faster tyre as they have 2 sporty names " olympic" and " sprinter" just dont use them in the wet as they are totally useless on damp terrain unless you stick rivets throo em at 5mm spacings.
The iron Infarction Modulator is so old school, you should get on of those Peter Brock approved energy polarisers :D

Maybe a better/faster solution would be to turn the seats around and have the steering hooked up to a thought processor so if you wanted to turn right you just thought about turning right, same could be done for accelerating and braking, may be a problem if you have ADHD and can't concentrate though, or have a dirty mind.

If you made the engine run backwards you could still have 4 forward gears and one reverse, it would be silly to have 4 reverse and 1 forward gear.

I hope you didnt overheat the copper head gasket when you bronzed it on, if it leaks you can add KY lubricant to the fuel or some play dough in the radiator.
