And you thought we were crazy

I almost wet myself laughing so hard.

Hmmm.... what's that on the top of the engine?

You know that dude is on drugs.

I think I need therapy after seeing that.

Bad + awful = awesome.

The bads cancel each other out.

I bet it still has the Lucas electrical stuff too! He should call it The Masochismobile!

Likely a product of whatever happened to be on hand and cheap. Really a true GRM creation when you think about it. If it were close and I had the room, I'd buy it.

The posts were from 2.5 years ago... I wonder what became of it.

Really? My guess is that it has been running like a top for the past 2.5 years only requiring routine oil changes. /sarcasm

It is not possible to run away fast enough...

This car definitely belongs in the uber reliable sports car thread.

Someone needs to leave a GRM magazine on that and tell him there is help out there for him.

That has spectacular failure written all over it.

The definition of pure art. An aesthetic creation that serves no other purpose.

You guys got it all wrong. The guy isn't crazy, he's a berkeleying genius!

Admit it, if you had the two components in your garage (body and engine) you'd giggle like hell when the idea came to put the two together. You know you'd laugh like a mad scientist the whole time you were doing the swap. You would enjoy every.. last... minute of it. Deep down inside though, you KNOW you never want to actually see this scenario played out. So what do you do? You sell it. That's right, you SELL it so when you sip your PBR from a frosty can you can sigh and say "man, that was berkeleying cool wasn't it?".

That way you never have to drive it and say "What in the blue berkeley was I thinking?"
