Emission regulation here is extremely tight for full registration.
Long story, but I worked for the company that owned Robnell and had the blessing of the owners at the time when I told them what I was doing.
If the purists want to spit their weet bix out- It also has electro-hydraulic power steering, drive by wire, cruise control, Dual rollbars, heated seats, and wait for it... Cup holders!!
If you’re going (off the ranch) then might as well go all the way.
The car is an absolute weapon and it drives beautifully.
It certainly handles and goes better than I drive.
The alloy L.S gave pretty much perfect balance as opposed to the heavier big block cars- I have driven both big block and SBF Robnell’s.
I get that people can get extremely passionate about these things, but I built this car for myself (not to satisfy anyone else) and to enjoy the driving experience with friends and family.
I don’t have to think twice about getting in and driving it- just turn the key and go.
It has big cam and open sidepipes therefore you can hear it coming from the next suburb
When I open it up, it’s like the launch of the space shuttle.
I did build it so that it pretty much looks like any other Robnell from the outside.
For me it was about the building, engineering and driving. Not a badge, brand or name.
Love it!!
