Hmm... I'll grant you, I'm struggling to find a positive word. The only one that comes to mind is "different" - but
"ugly" fits the bill much better.
If I wanted the road-racer look, I'd rather spend my cash on the Atom / Rev2, I'm afraid...

If my dog was that ugly I'd shave it's butt and teach it to walk backwards.

Had a good look at this in the flesh at Autosprt International earlier in the year. It didn't look any better then. The guy was very
enthusiastic about it and seemed to talk purely about the handling and performance and skirt around the styling. It was fitted with an Astra VXR
motor which must make it shift fairly well though.
When you look at what LCB members like AlanB, Steve Graber, Nitram38 etc have achieved it makes the it look a bit half baked

That sums it up nicely. It's a shame as the production values on the website are higher than most. However, it doesn't appear to be a kit
and is probably 30k so hardly a direct comparison.

Hey .. that's the thing shown on Top Gear where they slagged it off equally...
First thing that popped into my mind "CC Cyclone copy"

Steve - I was about to say the same... if they developed the looks so it wasn't so boxy it would be a Cyclone!

Looks well made , with the right bits in theory, just badly executed.
As said an origami Cyclone or Kamala

That's quite freaky actually - it looks like the same car with 2 equally ill-fitting outfits

why is it a car from the 50's looks lightyears ahead of these model T jalopy horrors? I'd love to see the drag coefficients for those
things? bet my wheelie bin scores better...

Its a shame they didnt buy the curves add-on for their software. Not an aesthetically pleasing creation but looks like it could have been easily made
better. I guess its tough to get something that looks different, however gaz and the others mentioned above have certainly managed.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
