I especially like the discrete touches of knowledge on this car, like the Neuspeed sticker, a VW tuner.

Someone came into the dealership with a light crayon-blue Festiva the other day...I quickly booked it ($300) and thought to myself:

hmm...17" white wheels, slammed, window tint, wing-on-roof, race fuel cap, those hard to find aftermarket Festiva race body kits (they do exist), carbon hood, as many LEDs as I could fit, HID projectors, shaved door handles, F1 carbon mirrors, the Mazda 323 GT/GTX twin-cam turbo swap, and a fart can the size of a saucer...yeah...that would do it!"

A friend of mine has a very similar car, without all the rice. It's an Isuzu Impulse RS. Turbo, AWD. Very nice little car. I drove it for several hours one day, but was really amazed when he autocrossed it. That's one well-sorted car. If I could find one, I'd snatch it up.

There's one here Nick, want me to approach the owner to see if they would like to sell it?

I remember that vehicle catching my eye as I pull into a local tea shop where I frequently read. I can see if they would be willing to part with it.

What caught my eye was that it had 'genuine parts from lotus' on it .

ya, Isuzu commissioned a suspension from Lotus which basically amounted to the stiffest, thickest springs they could fit on that car and still have it be driveable. the things corner like they're on rails. I took one out for a drive about a year ago and what a hoot!! i'm regretting not finding the money to buy it, 'cause it would've been a *****in' little number to take out on nice days..

or to ice race

nah, a steam roller wouldn't be as fun...ripping apart the bumper would be more entertainment...especially when they do the doubletake 'WTF' like in the video.

You think parts for our cars are hard to come by? They made even less of those, but it sure would be a fun ride while it ran.
