Lol I know.

£189 shipped in UK 30th June expected.

Japanese sites claim late July delivery. How are EU and Hong Kong stores getting them before Japan?

Of course, people's color tastes are totally subjective, and far be it for me to suggest someone's taste in yellow or brown are wrong. I love greens & blues, others probably hate those colors. I've never liked yellow or brown...maybe subconsciously there's an underlying reason to justify my dislike of those colors...the excretions of our human bodies tend to come in those colors, so perhaps that's why I don't like yellow/brown.

Seriously though, my problem with the paint schemes for the Hunter and Frog is more to do with just the color choices...the total lack of creativity in the design is what kills me. Here, let's make a straight line with tape along each side of the body...NAILED IT!

Are you guys ready to drool? Here are the Options! Man are they sexy!

So is a red tub option but no white.

So of you'll notice, some of the Turbo Scorpion cosmetics are an option, such as front bumper, roll cage with mounts for spot lights, rear wing mount. However no Turbo Scorpion body or roof with cut outs which kind of sucks since that roof is really cool looking.

There's also an option listed for HG dampers but no picture.

The option for black tub is cool, but I wonder why the went with red and omitted the white?

Little blurry in the option sheet but it's probably HC for high capacity...unless Hammad Ghuman got back into business just to make shocks for a Scorp re-re.

Has it been mentioned anywhere what the "Hard Chassis Rails" are going to be made out of?

I had to convert the PDF file to jpg.. Wasn't able to load the PDF.

The hard rails say 7075 aluminium which I believe is the same as the standard kit, unless they also heat treat it?

Of course, the really interesting option is the "gear box for original Scorpion". Is that the first time the original manufacturer makes a modern option part for a vintage car? Might break the record for "most time between release of a car and release of an optional part for that car".
