Datto's are brilliant, once you do the suspension and a few tweaks here and
there they scream. I doubt there's many cars built now that could take the
beating a 120Y can. On dirt roads like where I grew up they are the most fun
car to fang I have ever driven. 13" wheels and 205/60X13 tyres. My brother
took his to the top of cape York.
Ok they didn't drive like a fairlane but I have driven worse.
Simple motor, easy to repair, ideal to learn on. A beefy bloke can lift the
motor out and in without an endless chain.
I did however learn that they are allergic to trucks that don't "Give way",
but then most cars are.

Ask Noddy about his 120Y and the "tweaks" he gave it ;-)

LOL, was that the drag car with a holden motor welded in?

That'd be the one, although it was a couple hundred buck week-end warrior
and nothing more really.
Still, it ran mid 11's before it caught fire and burned to the ground :)

they are also allergic to jumping any distance, A mate borrowed his sisters
120Y and 4 of us went driving, he found an intersection that had a nice hump
in the middle and hit it flat out (that's not really very fast but you get
the picture) the car became airborne for about 10 feet and landed on all 4
wheels, (no nose dive) so we proceeded to my house and when we got there I
tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge, same for the drivers door, it
seems that when we landed the car chassis decided to "flex" a bit in the
middle but failed to return to its original shape :-)
to say his Sister was pissed off with him would be an understatement !!
