    They're production vehicles.

    All major body panels in place.

    Ignore the price, it's only a question.

    I dont see why they wouldn't. Though my guess is if you did what the zamboni crew did you'd end up with a future rule change keeping your little E36 M3box based F1 replicar out in future years...

    The Lomax is an English kit car based off a Citroen 2CV running gear, not sure that's challange legal. I remember looking at them many times at Kit car shows in the 80's. I really really wanted a Westfield back then, come to think of it I still do!

    $4k for that POS is laughable too

    I really, really, really wish I hadn't seen the milk delivery truck. Damn that'd be awesome, especially in your hands!!!

    That milk truck looks like it could make a sweet rig for going to the track for weekends that I am working.

    I wonder if my Rabbit would fit in the back of the milk truck?

    You can't autocross a trike per SCCA rules, so the Lomax is out.

    I just want to know what strange purpose is served by the cushion under the car.

    So when the chipmunks get drunk and fall out they don't hurt themselves.

    i thought it was deployed when chix pull you over to give curb service to the driver of such a hot car... :-O

    That first truck... just my sitting in the driver's seat puts it over GVW. What good is a truck with a 220-lb payload capacity?

    I was looking at a similar oddity, an early electric vehicle. I think I could have got the weight down to under 1000 pounds, it was an actual road-legal car in 1980, and who cared about range when you only need to autocross and do a 1/4 mile? Big motor and some batteries and it may have rocked.
