Yip, sounds familiar, they all do that! As soon as a fun job pops up then they wont let you do it because it's "too dangerous" or "needs practice, which you dont have". BS, its just too much fun that they have to do it all! :evil:
From fastest to slowest:

Birkin race car, not much is standard
Lotus Elise 111R, almost everything is standard
'75 SP 1600 with a few mods
B8 A4 Avant tdi, towing made easy

Is your shell going to fit directly onto the bus pan? Forgive the silly question, but to me it looks like the buggy shell is alil bit short!
