its tons of fun on the open hyway ....... going offroad here in ontario canada is getting more difficult all the time because of insurance regulations ....... hell just getting these cars insured for the street is getting to be a hassle


can't go anywhere near a public beach with this car hear in canada we have offroad vehicle sand complexes in michigan which is about a 6 hour tow away from here for me

If only insurance for something like that was the only hassle we had here. We can't even road register vehicles like that :( Wish we damn well could, power to weight ratio is awesome!

ahah going through the registration process at the moment, and it's so true. we can't do sh*t in australia it's an absolute joke. the rta is intent on getting classics and any modified vehicles off the road...they would be much happier if everyone was driving around in a stock 2011corolla.

anyway mate, sick ride..making some great numbers there, that thing will be a ball. keep it up.
