How does this guy keep it on the road?

most of our backroads are about that wide, & Rod won more than a few NZ rallys in Mazda Rotaries in virtually every type / model , great training ground, If you spin up big time in NZ your off the road--- in the USA it just means a fast lane change!!!
it says its a 2.0L turbo, must have huge lag and then insane power as the turbos spool. I guess he really doesn't keep it on the road to well, but its still amazing how he can keep the thing together.
I am suprised you guys dont seem to know of Rod Millan he has a great C.V He has won Pikes Peak hilclimb over there and to my knoledge he lives in the U.S. he does a lot of work with toyota and the military.

I spoke to Rod at FOS last year, really nice down to earth bloke and happy to talk about the spec of the car to interested onlookers.
Underneath there is a spaceframe with what started life as a 4-pot Toyota Celica motor although looking at it you'd not recognise it.
Incredibly skilled driver who often sets the time to beat against exotic F1 / Le Mans machinery and is nearly always on the podium at Goodwood.
Let's also not forget that he gets this car pretty much out of 'mothballs' to do these timed demonstration runs so it's amazing it stays together and performs so well. He was complaining that it was a tad rich with a miss-fire if I recall correctly which makes it even more incredible in my eyes..
If you ever get a chance to see him run - don't miss it! :thumbsup:
I've got a bunch of pics of the car somewhere, if anyone is interested I'll dig them out and post a few.

"Running a bit rich" is a bit of an understatement. He got very twitchy under brakes at the end trying not to run up the arse of the 4wd.
