The only thing that should be 4WD are Range Rovers etc. (4x4s) and Estate cars (BMW Touring for example)

Simple as.

(Only talking about cars btw Razz )

Oh I'm sorry your right Canada, Russia, Scandinavia are all balmy in the winter compared to Scotland. I apologize. Your average temps in the winter are +6 without windchill. That's a joke.

Dodge Viper GTS-R.

OR

TVR Cebera Speed 12.
Theres only 1 left in the world. and so as a Dream Car, I'd have it. you'd be the oly person on the road in one. 800+BHP going right throught the back wheels at a set of lights going green. Im sure that would have spectators shitting their pants at the thought. I dont care about the Handling or whatever. It would be amazing to drive one. And to make you all (hopefully) heart fallen, I've sat in one of the Race cars of the Speed 12. So upyours. Big Grin No offense or Gloating intended.

For most of Canada, -10 in the winter time is considered mild. It sounds like a bad number but when places in this country hit -30s, it pales in comparison.

Nice idea, but have you ever driven a car with a cage? It's a pain in the ass.
Yes, I actually really don't mind it at all. I kind of like it actually. Everyone who rides with me would probably hate it, but I don't care. They should be happy they're not walking. That's also why I want a less invasive, not full blown cage. You know, just enough to hold the roof up if it flips and a small amount of door bracing. Not the full out X-Brace's, 6+ point cage.

Go for a hard-core support cage and removable door bars all the way around, if you're set on it. Then it will be race legal, at least.

This sin't a race car. It's a daily driver/ daily fun rallying car that may be brought to a few track days and street races. I don't want a full cage for that. Keep in mind that the interior is still just as useable as stock. That's what I'm going for.

No, I was saying I'd get the guys at Vermont Sports Car to custom fab one in the car for me after they strip and seam weld the chassis. Check out their website for pics of some of their work. vtcar.com
