How mental is this.

I'm very much interested in one of the peeps chiming in that a 'friend' may have the moulds to the Thundersaloon kit! How good would that be. Pretty sure it'll turn out to be a dead end, but who knows!

Weird going with an electric motor, but as someone pointed out, looks expensive and he said he's a little brassic. Will it be another pipe dream, or will he surprise us all???

Definitely get him on here too. :twisted:
