Well, this was a remarkable training in the Challenge section, plus the scientific method of poking.
Although I won’t reveal the playing cards, keep thinking that’s a carton box.
It would be strange to do a rear-engined plus front-wheel drive, for better weight distribution, besides, ears would be needed for normal cooling.
6 hours left! Better hurry to get your entry in!
Iirc “ears” us referring to the vents on ZAZs, right?

Just a reminder: The deadline for entries closed 6 hours ago.
Eh, what more do you need in a car than an engine that revs, seats that cushion and a vehicle that moves. All for 9000$.
Submissiosn are now closed thanks everyone for submitting

A tie for 1st? So should there be a tiebreaker to separate them?
Sorry that was a typo 
Guess I shouldn’t have “rebuilt” an old low budget eco car. I kept going back in tabs and finding stuff that doesn’t belong. I wasn’t that thorough then. 
Cause it was said it would still function as a regular city car, so I wanted to make sure it had some room for passengers

I could have given my car a 2.0L engine and gained a useful 10 bhp without adding too much weight, but it may not have changed the final result.
Anyway, I’ll host QFC33 if none of the top 3 can host it - but in the meantime, I’ll wait for an announcement from them regarding hosting duties.
Thanks for hosting!
I figured the Spaniel would be another middle of the road entry, but still no replacement for displacement.
Passing on to @AndiD as I won’t have computer access for another 3-4 days
Good news, I’ll have some time the week after the next, so I should be able to host. Have an idea or two, expect the QFC33 draft in a day or two…
