Needing your opinion on this car. I'm going to view it tommorow but I really dont know if its worth the asking price as I've never had a kit car before. Its local to me so I'm going with an open mind but I really cant afford his asking price.

Looks tidy. Tigers aren't bad. One of the better of the more budget Lotus 7 style kits. It does look tidy. Drive it and have a close look at the build and how it looks. If it's as good as it looks it's worth the money.

I'm not selling the astra, other half would kill me if I did as she uses it 99% of the time. Selling my bike but still wanting a toy so this fits the bill of being quick but slightly less chance of me dying than on the bike. Only downside is it s alot of money for a toy but you only live once and I dont drink etc so thinking why not have some fun.

On a plus side insurance is cheap as chips!

Yeh, by the looks of it its all powdercoated etc so should last well. Its more the price I'm worried about. Not clued up on what these are actually worth and dont want to go spending over the odds.

I drive for a living and rely on my license. Doing 165mph regularly was only going to end one way.

Just delivered it for the guy half an hour ago so moneys burning a hole.

I;ve not grownt he balls to go and see it yet. I know if I go and view it I'll buy it but I'm struggling to justify spending 7k on a toy. Will do my best to talk myself into it..

Ideally I'd like to build my own but thats by no means a cheap option.

i reckon if you tried to build one, going by your car record may get fed up! lol

i would get bored then start selling bits and buy something already built...

what about a road legal quad

Already sold. Dont know why its still on there. Road legal quads are silly money and I'd be bored after 5 mins.

MK Indy's are good kits! When my dad was choosing which kit to buy we went to all the manufactures and felt the MK kit was the best for quality and price. Anyone going to the Stoneleigh Kit Car Show tomorrow?

I'll be there in my dads Indy

I built an Indy R1 a couple of years ago, was a good kit although it was my first so I havent got much to compare it to!
