Free plans for an electric FF, complete with FFE (funny front end). Passes the 20" seat height test, but not sure about the 'effective back support' test. Not...
So you have AUD41,000 to spend? What can you get in transport? For hardly any more you could buy a Isuzu NPR 200 medium truck which you could drive on your car...

Can imagine a rock drummer riding a Quasar. Bouncing up and down in the seat due to the rock hard suspension. Need those strongly developed thigh muscles from...
