Pullback Classic Roadster

What happens when you hand your classic roadster over to the Octan Race Engineers for a tune up?
Well, you get MORE POWER!
I built this as a bit of fun, it is powered by the pullback motor out of Technic set 42091 Police Pursuit Car. It seats two minifigures side by side and is stupid fun.
So, what started out as a "what if?" soon turned into a "just because you can, doesn't mean that you should!"
With two minifigures in it,  it will pull a burnout off the mark, only getting traction at the very end of the spring, and then it will coast out to about 4 metres. By pressing the half bushes in on the front wheels (effectively locking them), it will get very crossed up and most likely hit something off to the side.
More weight could be added to the back to increase traction but I wanted to keep it as "normal" looking as possible while hiding the pullback motor.
The car is quite solid and will endure a fairly hard impact, and is more than sturdy enough for fairly rough play.
