Sequential!?! I would sell my first three children in order to put that in my next project.

It's likely a dog-box, so you can't drive it on the street.

 The running costs are extreme, the gear whine almost unbearable...but hit some gravel or snow and it all becomes worth it :)

I've had a few scoobyroo friends run dog boxes in their play cars. They are street driven, but not daily driven. My next project isn't likely to be a daily. I will grant you that it's totally unrealistic unless you've got access tonparts and can rebuild yourself.
