Alright sorry distributed, but I read recently in Racer mag that Absima was an Ansmann line.
I know I've only heard bad things about Ansmann cars, weak and poor moulding.
I thought that short course was based on the Mad Rat but couldn't be sure, didn't know how much extra stuff they stuck to it. Also I seem to remember the Rat being fairly small, unless the Core is not particularly big?
