While the 246 Dino didn't start my love affair with mid-engined cars, it sure did add fuel to the fire. I followed the U.S. replicas, the Kelmark, the Magnum and the Karma, but never did own one. I had the chance to own at least of the VW powered cars, one a Kelmark and one a Magnum, but had I bought either one it would have been simply to have the body so I could have a mid-engine V8 version built. Alas, they were too short to fit anything other than a Toronado type automatic and still have the rear wheels end up in the wheelwells, but many an hour was spent dreaming about one of those cars!
