Handles well in the twisties?
They handle like shit anyway. You don't take a murcie through the twisties at pace.
There are much better cars to buy for that

I don't know the rules in QLD but from memory here you have to have 100mm clearance to be roadworthy?  Surely that thing must have some hydraulic suspension, you'd bottom out driving over a leaf!

In the old days it used to be a can of coke.  :p


Now days it's not so simple, the rule of thumb is 10cm(100mm) from the road surface to the lowest point under the car, but the vehicle needs to retain at least 2/3rds of the suspension travel between each item of suspension and its associated bumpstop.

My Esprit fails this badly but I won't tell if you don't......   :D

Initially in photos I thought the same, but in real life it's actually pretty amazing. I'm sure Andecorp will confirm.
