What colour should it be?

What Size/Style wheel should it have?

What suspension should it have (dry or wet)?

What Brakes?

Yeah now your getting into it :D

Yeah, I reckon its gotta be a twinky too :) Support Matts surfing/wagon wheel/sex habit.

I'd kinda lean towards a Van myself,,, I reckon they make for a good sleeper (seeing as how that seems to be the trend)...

1275 A+ engine.
Gearbox on the end of the motor like a modern front wheel drive.
5 speed VW Golf box.
4 doors.
Lots of leg room front and rear.
A big boot.
Macpherson strut front end.
Strut + trailing arm rear end.
