Zonda replica

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

What's the fucking point then? I thought it'd at least be road legal.

Where has that £15,000 gone if it's not even road legal? I could have made a Zonda version of that Porsche bicycle they had on top gear for less than £1000.

Haha, I think the other reason is the Granada that the "chassis" is from, was also scrapped in 2008 - according to the DVLA!

I like how he wants to get it to a test track to see how fast it is....i guess as fast a Granada with an Audi V8 can go.

I'm guessing a lot slower. If the same attention to detail has been applied to the chassis and suspension design and construction then I doubt if it will hold together.

I agree. I reckon it'll start falling to bits as soon as it gets going at any real speed.
