    My Kind of MKI Build

    One of the best ones i've seen for a while. The guy was pretty handy and everythings done quite neatly..

    Teaser.

    Ending..... he flipped it partly caused by uneven weight distribution with the car weighing in 660kg.

    I never really liked it that much, TBH, but a real shame about what happened!!

    That is/was one great car. Too bad he put it on his roof. But like they say "Ferrari owner does not a Ferarri driver make."

    I only wish I had that kind of time to spend on my MK1 though. Oh and has anyone got a spare deisel tank they want to sell me?
