Oh, I feel bad about bagging something that somebody has clearly put a LOT of effort and money into, and I bet it sounded great when spec'ed out on paper, but that is really... wrong

.
Kudos for the cojones for putting it together though - and if it goes fast enough, almost anything can be forgiven visually (case in point, almost any of the Group B rally monsters are beautiful, even the hideously f'ugly ones, simply because of what they are and how they go)
Maybe a set of stripes ala the flying brick could work wonders (not that MD's weapon is a f'ugly... of course

)
