"Built not bought. Can’t wait."
The majority of his followers were not impressed by his custom-made car. Many of them shared negative reactions to his post while a few said they like the car. Tweep @Ham_Abra_ said:
"Am confused as to what you actually want to achieve here. If it's speed it won't work on your favour. There's just too much air drag from the bonnet to your wheels there's absolutely zero aerodynamic here. But if it's just for entertainment maybe it will work."
