I would love to own and drive this car. Just hope know one would set fire to it.

Joke aside, I think its as good as the idea as that french car that runs on compressed air. :)

That would actually look quite good if it wasn't made out out of wood. But seeing as it is you wouldn't see me getting in it.

I think wood would make a pretty good crumple zone TBH.

Not sure how good the firewall is going to be though!!

tee hee, forget air bags. Most be quite a thrill driving one knowing that in a crash its bye bye life :) good car for a vampire to suicide in - the only one. ;)

LOL yeah, must be fun though, even its its not real world viable.

"Sorry, I can't make the meeting this weekend - my car is at the joiners getting some work done"

Hahahaha. I smell creosote.

You'd be screwed. Or nailed. Bet jesus would have gone for one of these cars what with being a carpenter and all that. Imagine him around bethlehem, going around preaching with one of these. I'd buy some sandals if I ever had this car.

absolutely ridiculous!

LOL.. looks good though - even better than the supe, and that yellow car from the transformers movie.

Yeah. I can see the paint fading every year so you have to paint it the same time as your shed. Its a bit flintstone like, if you needed a bonnet vent for the uk spec version just find out where a big knot is and puch it through. :)

Tee hee. the sound of a splitting tree in a crash, rather that the horrible metal impact sound of a traditional crash. Maybe they should have made the windsreen from cleaned amber. :)
