  • That's it! That's the car! In fact, it's the same car that's in my book, only restored. Same license plate! Sonofagun. I'm glad he borrowed my text. Might have to borrow his picture. I love it! Man, that thing's tinier than I thought. - Lucky 6.9 07:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Partly true

This sotry is partly true was it not for that Van der groot build a car first for himself and only afterward started planning building a car in a series. It was first intended for sale, but the press was not so gentle to the project. Only then it was thought of renting the car out. It took a trained mechanic about 15 minutes to exchange the gearbox/motorunit.

Only 4 were ever build, of which one survived, another one was later build from spare parts.
