    Anyone who buys a TRANSKIT for a Pocher model obviously has issues.

    I'm (slowly) building one of these, actually. Won't look nearly as nice when it's done, though.

    Ah, yes; Pocher. A colleague gave me his untouched 1/8 Rolls-Royce kit, which now sits in my basement.

    The kit--not the model. I finished the lower half of the straight-six before succumbing to a nervous breakdown. Amazing detail + horrible instructions - available alcohol = well, you get the picture.

    There are countless reasons why there are more virgin Pocher kits on this planet than completed models. Hats off to this bloke; given the workload is approximately the same, I'd rather dedicate my time to a vehicle I can ultimately drive...

    To use Clarkson's wisdom, this sort of hobby must be for the chap who hates his wife but also doesn't have space for a full-size classic car.

    The more I look at mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive cars with longitudinal engine/trans layouts, the more I want to build an Ariel Atom-esque MR track car with an EJ207 and a strengthened FWD Impreza transmission crammed behind the driver.

    Forged internals, 8250 redline, twinscroll turbo, low center of gravity, boxer rumble, mid-engine driving dynamics...

    Stuart Little used to be cool, but now he calls himself Stu Piccolo and doesn't even pay child support for his 83 kids (12 different moms). Typical.
