    For gods sake, will someone please find the pictures posted up of the car from a year or so ago.

    That will show the extent of the cutting. I've seen it for real and it's not pretty.

    With all these people saying this car is dangerous its got me wondering, does anyone know if it has ever been examined by an engineer? I recon it has to have done and since it has valid MOT's since the conversion whos to say it isnt road worthy?

    I can understand greg slating this car, as its kind of the next step up from what he done to his old punto.

    I have seen this car up close, had a good noisey around at modified nationals a few years ago. In my opinion (im only a DIY mechanic like most on here remember) it does look quite bad, however its been on the road for a few years now, to insure such a car most insurance companys will want to see an engineer report, correct Greg?

    Yes I agree but things have changed a lot in recent years though, its all electronic although it is possible to pass the unpassable still I agree.
