Nah, the Alloy V8 buggy i just built as a motorkhana/hillclimb/autocross special

originated from a $10 bet with a go-kart mate that i wouldn`t/couldn`t,,,& so i did :-) the bugga still hasn`t paid me my $10 tho :-(

we affectionately call her---> "WHIPLASH" ,,, & for obvious reasons :-)

from 20 feet away you cant see the a-series at all, and at the mo its running extractors with no pipe, you would be forgiven for thinking all is not right 8)
ill pipe the inlet foward and chuck a pod(ricericerice) down the front, just the dashpot will stick through the bonet :lol:
keeps the carb well off the hot exhaust though :)

ok its done, the paint on this bonet (spare) is CRAP! i did it just now so it looks ok from 50 feet, its been painted with cans in the past and this reacts with even etch primer, so in future it will be bare metaled, but her it is, in all its shiny glory... :lol: whata ya think? bling enough gafmo? 8)
