However it did have a new engine in place and the TT g/box was also in place but with no interior at all to speak of.

These cars look cheaply made and in no way bare any resemblence to the ST.

Which got me thinking, if MSNZ (who are running the booth where the two cars are) think that this new car will be just as good as the new ST class are simply dreaming. And i have concerns about driver safety too. The gauge of the tube used is the cage is tiny, the welds look terrible and it looks like it was made in Hamilton, out of number 8 fencing wire. If these new cars can go fast and all that stuff, what will happen if one is involved in a heavy crash? I dont think they would stand up well at all.

On the plus side however i liked the livery of the FG, and the wheels and brakes look nice.

But thats it.

dude, youve got it real bad havent you........
