Hey TurboOrangie, I think I should look after that one for you because it looks way to small for you and me being a short arse, I would fit in it just nicely.... :wink:

Well Smokie, somebody should take care of it. I haven't finished the car yet, it's just been sitting mostly for the last 6 years. I've never driven it. And since I started working on saving TurboOrangies life I've been neglecting my coupe. I started with the heart transplant to give TurboOrangie a new lease on life. But then I really needed to help with cancer situation I thought it was malignant at first but it turned out to be multiple benign lesions. But I have cut out the cancerous tissue and grafted in new tissue. I'm happy to annouce that as of yesterday TurboOrangie is cancer free and doing well. I'm just working on a little plastic surgery to make the wounds look as good as possible.
Anyway, since you are too far away to take care of the coupe I guess I will have to get back to work on it. I plan to soon after TurboOrangie is well on his way to recovery.
But thanks for the offer.

I reckon wings generate more drag than down force. Looks alright on TurboOrangie's car due to it following the cars custom style :) but the yellow one looks silly :( . Steve o'malley had a huge GT wing on his race car, it looked silly too. On a 5th gear episode (not as good as top gear but good enuf) they were tested various 80s cars and went to a wind tunnel and found that wings/spoilers create more drag than downforce. At low speeds not an issue but something to think about before making ur mini look like a jap wannabe.
