Surely you'd want to put it in something with drive to the wheels?

8) 8) Ha Ha !! I had a look at some of those other clips as well.

There were some pretty good Manta's on there. I had a mk 2 in the late 70's. The engine blew at 130000 miles so I fitted a "400" engine (2.4). It already had one of the first sequential g/boxes on it. It was quite a quick car and still looks great today. 8) 8)
