... although the 600bhp V8 engine is constructed from more traditional materials.

The students want to make the world think about using more eco-friendly materials.

Am I missing something 600bhp, V8, is not exactly eco-friendly now, is it?

A bit like flying to Australia with an acorn in your pocket to plant when you get there as a carbon offset :shock:

Ok so they say "The students want to make the world think about using more eco-friendly materials" so the idea takes off and after making 10,000,000 cars like this the rain forest is a desert due to the amount of "TREES THEY HAVE USED" :idea: :?: :?:

Being American it presumably has a large trunk.............

Perhaps they could call it the Model Tree Ford

No - but I bet it would be a hell of a lot of fun to drive!!! :shock: :shock:

Although, being told you had failed the MOT due to woodworm would be a bit of a downer! :evil:

The thing to note is that it was designed by a group of American students, so to them a V8, 600 bhp engine is eco-friendly by their standards!!!

(To all out US-based readers - I'm just kidding guys).

err! no look at the rain forest now they replace with mainly palm oil and if they did replant the big trees take a hundreds of years to mature...

Make it out of pine then

If you are going to use pine then be sure to stain it using Colron `Antique Pine` and buff it up with some beeswax polish from the Bettaware catalogue.
