is it road legal? that's the sort of thing I want myself. I don't like staring straight at cones from 3" off the ground.

Be one with the Cones Grasshopper :ugeek:

It's in quebec now and they *claim* it was plated... but like one little Red car - I would be concerned about being pulled over :mrgreen:

I know just because it's gutted and has a Roll cage doesn't mean its a full out *race Car* and should NOT be street legal.
And long as it has Sun Visors its legal in Quebec :roll:

I don't want a Grown up car :lol: I'm starting to wonder if I could buy a Classic Mini shell and put the Miata running gear under it - the opposite of a Westfield - in stead of making it lower and longer - taller and shorter... :roll: ( yes yes - in know its a Wacky idea.) but it just might work) - and it would be lighter :twisted:

There was a classic Mini at Picton this weekend that had a Honda K20 attached to a Honda CRV AWD driveline. Looked great sitting there but I didn't really get to see it run (in the same run group).
