Looking at that car, do kit car 'designers' ever actually take a step back and say to themselves "hmmmm....there's something not right about those proportions....." Or do they just think "up yours, micholetti, you can shove your pencils where the sun doesn't shine!"

Is there any love for the strange looking mini? I'm not sure if I like it or hate it. It certainly made me look twice.
