    Of course its RWD, there's really no other way! Powertrain... well its suppposed to be dual electric motors up front... but we all know this thing needs a NA Straight 6. Made a simple chassis too:

    (Should clarify, thats the battery pack under the CF tub, e-motors up front, and gearbox at the rear. Double wishbones all round, aluminium subframes front/rear)

    (Few more images of chassis/drivetrain here)

    may be getting my own car soon, so far all i know about it is it's small, green and has a manual transmission (i know one person on this forum that'd be happy about the transmission part)

    WHOO

    then after that i just need to get a license (which is after i get the rest of my night driving hours in, which is after i get my permit renewed)

    then FREEDOM

    until 11pm because restricted license

    You're actually doing the required hours?
    I don't think I've ever met anyone that's done it. Here, you just have to get your parents to sign something that says you've done all it.
    I say just go for your full license. Don't bother with the trouble of renewing your permit.

    I genuinely did the required hours to graduate from learners to a provisional license in about 5 months; 100 daytime hours plus 20 night, but you have to hold the learners thing for at least 12 months, which was bullshit, haha.

    Less required driving over there is it?

    UK has no hours requirement :p

    You can hypothetically do your theory test on the morning of your 17th birthday and practical in the afternoon.
