Seriously though.
How funny would that be.
An MK Indy with a turbocharged Hayabusa being sold on ebay, only it hasn't been SVA'd, it's actually running on the V5 from a Dutton Hootennanny.

P.S. Has anyone seen the new short wheelbase car from the makers of the Vortx ?

The MNR Knees - up ?...

Shindig Shadows
The music does fit the era the car is associated with.

Chet,
I'm really not sure about how the word Shindig is perceived in the UK, but I speak with some authority about how it will be received in the US -- like a fart in an elevator. I'm pretty sure you know this. And I know you are trying to make Jeremy not feel so conflicted about the name, but the poll here pretty much says it all. If you were clever, which I suspect that you are, you will quietly, without any fanfare, just name it something different in the States -- it won't be that big of a deal, but it will make a lot of difference in the marketing of the car in the States. I WANT you to succeed and I'm guessing you're not into economic suicide yourself, so...

Please, give us some details on what you have intended for the car in the States. Don't make the same mistake yourself -- get some feedback from people who are actually of a mind to buy the car in the first place. First off you know that guys from the US that are following this now are you first customers and are infinitely more aware of Jeremy's work that the rest of the populace -- it is going to be easier to sell us the car than any other group of people in the country. After us, there is a lot of convincing to do. With that in mind -- were all ears

P.S. watched the video. I'm 50 and couldn't make it through -- it won't have anything at all to do with the car -- especially in the States as no one has heard of the Shadows anyway.
