WORLDS LOWEST Car- "Flat Out" Under 2ft High

Hope this is not already posted... :Eyecrazy:

The world’s lowest car – the 54.3cm-high, aptly-named Flat Out—is headed for the Melbourne International Motor Show, Australia.

Built by UK custom car builder, Andy Saunders in just three days, it's fully driveable.

It will be on premium in-car audio, video and navigation systems company Eclipse’s Melbourne show stand.

Built around a Fiat 126/Niki 650 watercooled, two-cylinder engine – the lowest Andy Saunders could find – the car easily limbos under the previous World’s Lowest Car record of 59.9cm.

By building his car in just three 18-hour days at Britain’s 40th Annual Autojumble last year at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, Hampshire, Saunders also beat the previous record by 18 months.

Saunders worked on the car with engineer Jim Chalmers, whom he met on BBC TV program Panic Mechanic, and Aston Martin interior designer, Doug Brown. And, yes, the tiny car’s interior boasts hand-stitched leather.

Flat Out is Andy Saunders’ second car to visit Melbourne – his “car of the future” X-2000 starred at the 2000 show.

The Melbourne motor show runs from March 2-12.

pfffft, world's lowest? I can still see daylight underneath it so it's not low at all, I would consider these way lower, and probably more fun to drive :D:

Can't forget the probe 15, predecessor to the probe 16 as seen in clockwork orange:
