By project car, I mean like some stupidly OP (and realistically completely useless) Lotus Exige that weighs about 500kg and and has over 600bhp, something that is essentially barely road legal, if at all. Something that will turn all your internal organs to mush if you so much as glance at the throttle and will blast them out of your nose if you breathe on the brakes. lol

Weight reduction, all creature comforts (and some safety features) must be sacrificed. No radio, no air con, likely no airbags, no sound deadening, glass windows replaced with polycarbonate, screw the passeger seat, ditch the spare wheel, lighten every possible part. Every unnecessary gram must be gone.

Who needs music when you’ve got a supertuned engine making your ears bleed and 0-60 in sub 3 to keep you entertained?

Have you ever thought, “what if I end up designing the next gen Prius?” :grimacing::no_mouth: lollll

Also if it’s your fiiiiirst project car, perhaps sacrifice a bit of weight for the air bags :grimacing: jk jk

No, but what I have legit thought is: What if I took like a battered old early 2000s Micra and made it the ultimate sleeper? Like, I’m talking an LS7, DSG, AWD, the whole 9 yards. Then either make it look old and battered or make it look like a RICEr. :joy:

That’s why I was on the fence. Also, that thing’s definitely doing to have a roll cage and 6 point belts.

Question, what’s this for?

I’ve got such a thing. No radio, no air con. Even no windows and no engine. Only one seat. It’s called a bike. But it’s pretty uncomfortable to use it in autumn/winter season.

Is the first one just a bunch of @jrtrussell mannerisms?

Also, RB and Monster are just fizzy piss and tea is just warm water, not much of a choice. lol

Stuffing yourself all year round with pastry doesn’t count :upside_down_face:

What is the history behind it?

It’s a christian tradition to celebrate the visit of the three wise men to Jesus. (but it’s so delicious that a lot of people are eatting it every year, christian or not) We put a lucky charm in it and the one who get it can wear a king crown.

No sleep? :upside_down_face: :kissing_heart:

Then it is the same as we have, just a different kings cake. I try to get a pic from the one, we had in kindergarden.
It is with 3 walnuts. In every nut is a fabric in green, red or blue. The kid that finds the nut get the crown and cape of Caspar, Melchior or Balthazar for the day :blush:
