alcyonecorporation Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 If you've got any from the event itself, I'd love a couple of those. I imagine a Rodius is a bit of a weapon on and off the hawsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 There were several Ssangyongs being raced at Ipswich a couple of weeks ago. One was as new as 60-reg. I believe they’re being banned soon due to how strong they can be built, so the racers are using them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bangerfan101 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 It's basically a merc Vito Van underneath. Sooner there banned the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Furious Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The Ssangyong Rodius is the most fantastically hideous car I've seen in a long time, I LOVE it. I'm disappointed I haven't spotted one around AS parts yet. I followed one the other day, bouncing along like a demented ping pong ball on what you'd be forgiven for thinking was a billiard table smooth stretch of road. It was ace and slightly un-nerving all at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alcyonecorporation Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Good feature idea. I'd last about ten seconds because everyone would DD the fuck out of me. Do it, but take it around the oval and do the test from there. "Easy to drift and hawser resistant, the Rodius is a sure fire classic for anyone wishing to rid the world of Mk2 Granadas. With Imperial prices now in the stratosphere, it's the easiest way to win an unlimited heat without being banned [or owning a Ford Mondeo]. This is one taxi ride where your driver definitely WILL go south of the river. And crash. Into Great Uncle Bulgaria." Any pics of the last Unlimited event? I need, like.....one. Please.
