This is very odd.  I've never seen seen anything quite like it.

"The hard part is done?" No sir. The hard part will be forgetting that monstrosity.

Probably belongs in the "Favorite Witty Expression" thread, but ....     This is why FIRST COUSINS shouldn't marry!!

Makes more sense than a bike engine up front and a huge chain drive to a live axle.  But still stupid and ugly.

Wow, that's certainly a thing that exists.

I applaud the effort put into it, but I think that's where my praise ends...

Wow!! I looked at the pictures a few times and didn't notice that.

The interesting bit is that it looks like someone actually put some effort into the project. I mean, they painted the thing and even a bad paint job takes significant time and $$$.

A lot of effort for what ultimate result? I am all for crazy projects, but this one might take the prize for why? I am no engineer, but at least try to provide some level of common sense physics knowledge to my projects. The handling on this one has to be "interesting" to say the least.....

I could almost say 'okay, sure' if it were a rusted pile that someone got drunk and cobbled together. Like everyone else, I don't understand what the end game was supposed to be. Hey, look, I built a thing?

The really sad part is that looks like a nice Midget shell that was hacked up to make it.

Feels appropriate:

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, the didn't stop to think if they should...

Lost title just means racecar. Well, at least if it's not stolen.

Every time I see the saddlebags in the rear wheel wells, it reminds me a bit of the luggage carousel at the airport. Like it's going to 'ploop' out of the wheel well.

Counterpoint:

The Vulcan engine is bigger and makes more power than the stock MG lump.
