Re: How to build a Mid-Engine Italian Race Car

What's longitudinal about the engine? Looks like a transverse layout to me.

Something seems weird about it but it may be an optical illusion. Not used to seeing 1/2 shafts that long. Ignore me. Apparently I  am not paying attention.

Re: How to build a Mid-Engine Italian Race Car

Oh man, this is a BEAUTIFUL build! I'm the othet Lanci-diot in Lemons and I FEEL YOUR PAIN. Unfortunatley I haven't been able to log into the forums for about 6 months because... um... reasons. But, I'm eagerly advising the new owner of this car in hopes that we might get BOTH SCORPIONS on the same racetrack someday for some REAL RACING (TM)!
