AMT's BRAT is the winner - so here we go (OOB)!

[Faust]

Well, the results are in and the people have spoken! Of the kits I managed to snag in London (Ontario, Canada) during the model show at the end of September, one has been quite overwhelmingly chosen as the “king of the losers”! The winner of this dubious title was the AMT BRAT, that awesome little bundle of tax-evading passenger un-safety!



The margin of victory was considerable, with 71 votes, the Brat managed 17. Sure, that’s only 24%, but in Canadian politics at least, that’s more than enough to win! Given that the BRAT is also one of my top purchases (since I stupidly passed one up years ago) I was more than willing to dive right in and get you guys an Out of Box report on this fairly rare little beast. So check it out below!

Will be interesting to follow, my Aunt had a Brat and they are so ugly that you feel sorry for them, but at least it was an amazing little truck in the sense that it worked and was driveable even though I think EVERY single part of it was broken.....

See, I think the BRAT is cute. Well, the four-headlight one like the kit. 


Subarus may be weird, but they do seem to be pretty tough. I know there's none of these left around where I am, though; salty roads seem to have eaten them up pretty quickly!
