My brother and his son bought a wrecked one that Jim at EASY had. They had a great time working together doing the clutch, timing belts, putting a fender on it, installing new seats and refinishing some wheels for it. My brother reports that it is an interesting car from an engineering standpoint and that their example drives nicely. I hope to get a chance to try it out in the coming weeks when I go visit them for Monterey car week.
The only other time I've had a chance to drive one was many years ago a friend let me try his Turbo. Off boost it reminded me a lot of my old BMW 325e as it had that big 4-cyl low end grunt. On boost it was pretty quick and fun to the point of I'd have a hard time keeping my foot out of it if I had one.
