Crap that's low...don't think it's 100mm...would get holed the first time out driving on our roads!
Getting a round one made to fit in the spare wheel well would be pretty cool...ideal for a rota or V8.

You can be lower than 100mm, you just need to cert for anything lower than 100mm.

I am thinking about making a bigger one for mine, I only have about a 350KM range in mine.

A car. Is not. A car. Unless the front wheels steer. And the rear wheels DRIVE.

Even my granny-mush, no-anti roll bar and skinny tyre'd 1300 steers and 'points' better on the corners than my 'advanced' French complex suspended Citroen. Of course I've had to replace a CV joint on it and for sure the drop links are again rattling! FWD can be a pain in the butt and they are never right, 'clunk' 'click' oh there is the other CV on the way out, sianara 100 quid again!

As I seen in a car magazine a while ago someone wrote in a letter, ''..dear Ford, can we have RWD back pleeeeassseee..''

Benz has a new A class, it looks well, is probabbly very well built and there is a waiting list for them. However its FWD so you might as well save 5-8 grand and buy an Audi.

That turbo Avenger is a bit OTT for everyday driving, as the guy says its ready for a red-top Vauxhall conversion.
The red-top apparently runs very well, wonders will never cease, GM made an engine thats not as soft as warm butter!

Advanced FWD, I remember when the Renault 'christmas tree' 18 replaced the Avengers, escorts and vivas in the early '80s.
People thought the bit better traction on the FWD Ren was the business, untill CV boots burst - often. Driveshafts, suspension bushes, broken rear springs and joke electrics.
The Renault christmas tree, the rear lights were not very well damp sealed and the circuitry was very cheap. When you went for the brakes and signals the rear of them lit up like a christmas tree!
Irish people don't like to pronounce the 't' and calling a Renault a 'renauoo' sounds queer so you got 'Renild 18' there were for some reason a heap of them sold here and esp. in the County Down. It was the law or something!

Many Avengers on the roads became R18's. Strange but true!

The same county as myself, making a phone call, live news folks.

!!! 5 miles away.

Has a full forest rallying suspension - those bits are easy sold.

I have a grille, engine mounts, the near enough whole lot even a spare front bumper for a MK1 Avenger, I even have 2-door door trims and a NoS strip speedo head (?1!). Can get a dashboard (strip or round) from David the guy with the orange 1600DL and the two MK2's.

A 2- Door Mk1! Sure its been a bit battered, thats the best way, this place 'round here wrecks cars anyhow.

I fancy a strip dashboard - dammit I shouldn't have sent that super dash (with the silver insert) to that guy in the UK.
I even have the veglia (no regulator has two sturdy coils instead of the regulated single as in the smiths) strip temp guage.

Anyhow, I'm thinking out loud.

Gonna take a look at it themorrah.

On a farm in a place called 'Guiness' thats not a joke BTW! next to the townland of Drumnaquoile drum-na-coil, a reminder of Irish townlands for the ex-pats amongst ye all!
