Change the color and those wheels and you'd have something.

I'll guess $175K.

Me too although by the time you are done with all the mods, the $20k+ axles and engine/trans swap to make it worthwhile, you are into it for major money as well.

Just saw one in white at the petrol station a few minutes ago.

Was going to take a photo but the driver stayed in his car, and you can get in trouble for that here.

Looked like you could ride a skateboard under it :mrgreen:
