Once had a guy in a Porsche try to sneak up the inside on a merging lane, guess who won, hehe.
My favorite thing though was the inside doors, no padded linings just bare metal with the door handles at the back beside the seat and exposed rachet gears to bite unwary fingers.
Great amusement can be had watching people reach for a door handle that isn't there, then watching the panic set in as they try to figure how to get out of the damn thing.
Loved my shorty 40.

When I was doing big Fireworks Displays a few years back on one beach located display ( New Year ) we would borrow a short wheel base Toyota Landcrusier off the sponsor CEO and his business. (Developer) a builders hack. When you picked it up you had to kick the clay out of the cab and rearrange the shovels in the back. When you drove it it sounded like a bunch of 44 gallon drums being towed behind a tank. It was amazing fun to drive round the place and brilliant on the beach. Used to tow a 1/4 ton trailer loaded with pyro in deep sand. Always enjoyed that contract if only for that.
We had some good displays too, some huge explosions, great fun but bloody hard work.
