hahah that's so insane :D
So what's it like to drive? I think noone here can even imagine (except you ofc) :)

I take it as a compliment ! ! ! !
Well it is a lot of fun because of the whole cockpit. You don't feel like in a car.
Otherwise the engine push quite good. but I am very gentle and take a lot of care of it...
The very good point is that the heater works very well. You are not cold inside...

Actually, it is "parisian" parking ! ! !
More seriously, it was the closest spot to the shop where I buy my kit models.
I already parked my Sport Quattro there:

Even with all the stickers, spoilers and extra lights the Quattro looks beter in place then the Aztec.
Such a back to the future design :D
Must be getting a lot of (nice) reactions!
