    Completely different video format to your normal videos. Mate, you bloody nailed it. Absolutely great video and perspective of WTAC. Hats off Woody.

    I worked for a courier company back in the early 2000s. They had a Micra, 5 speed manual, no aircon, no frills. It carried parcels. It was also good for 185kmh. I'd come up behind someone doing the speed limit and drop back to a 100. As soon I had a spot to pass, back to 4th and doing 130 by the time I was past them. I usually chanfed gear at their driver's door just for fun.

    Such a nuts little car. Its such a mammoth achievement to make a lame shopping trolley into a goliath killer. Kudos to everyone involved with it.
    Speaking of killer, i hate being a debbie downer, but that rocket is soooo far too fast for that rollcage, those a pillar bars are puss.
    Keep safe cobb.

      It’s a good point regarding the cage.
      It’s a N1 Micra cup cage from the 90’s so it could definitely have a freshen up.

    I'm a massive k11 micra fan having used my mother's when I first passed my test then later buying same car and doing an event called the 999 challenge where you race on a drag strip and then a timed slalom however the car was finished in a budger manor just stripped to with an inch of it's life but the mag pulled the event due to insurance reasons so we broke it for spares as nd scrapped the shell was fun in its stripped out form and was quite quick for a one litre .

    My first car was a boxy Nissan Micra 1.2 SS with a carb and whopping 54 horsepowers. 745 kilos and skinny tires - lots of "fun" when crosswinds are pushing you around. I really can't imagine such a shoebox with 500 horsepower. 😲

    There was a Micra in the UK many years ago that started off similar - nicknamed Little Bandit. It had an SR20DE from a Nissan Almera GTi (also known as the Pulsar elsewhere), with turbo strapped to it. That thing was nuts but was setup as a sleeper, this seem to have taken Little Bandit's ethos and taken it to the next step!
