Hmmm, this could be interesting. Interested in the process, certainly don’t have half a bar for them to do this.

True - but I admire the technical input required to get these things working. I saw a post about a guy who stuck a GTi engine into his lotus chassis without all the usual bits (cluster etc). Seems nobody told him it was supposedly close to impossible, so he just did it himself.

I love this. Where is the <3 react emoji?
Sounds like the trolls in 40K who can breath in space, because nobody told them they can't
