Now Im not a fan of the Metro 6R4 look, and the standard look is a little hard on the eyes, but, for some reason, I think this looks pretty good! Kind of R5 Gordini esque

i like them both, think the metro needs slightly bigger wheels. Also they need to wider at the back to fill the body kit. |

That's a nice looking metro( did I really say that??) "Tuning should be a compromise between what is possible and what is necessary"

I seen a twin turbo metty a shelsy Walsh speed hill climb couple years ago, was rapid and sounded awesome, hard to believe that engine is what they used in the xj220.

Indeed, even harder to belive it was based on the rover v8.

Never knew it was based on a rover v8, learn something new everyday. If in doubt... flat out! The words of a true legend |

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

The intial prototype engine (according the story I read in a mag years ago) was a Rover V8 run through a bandsaw, with the end welded up.
Metric is for people who can't do fractions. |
