People like a project and a one of a kind, plus a lude is a better looking car than most factory bought RWD cars :)

we have a guy down here with a highly modded one that is in Tesco's all the time ;) everytime he parks and walks away the car is always still running, people run after him shouting he has left his engine on :lol:
but his alarm system is set to close all windows, lock doors and switch off the engine when it has reached tempture!!!

he says that so short a drive to shops that the car does not reach full temp and if you switch off and try to restart this will blow the lump probally what kwik-fit done and drokked it!!!!

Most of you are to young to remember this pile of crap.
They only worked when you put a Ford V4 in it

BTW the Ford v4 was also a pile of crap but not as bad as the wankers engine

NSU RO 80 BTW
I have kleptomania,
But when it gets bad,
I take something for it.
