    There won't be anything that will be able to keep with it through the twisty stuff. Or many other places for that matter. ;)

    Of course, the rest of us will have a windscreen, wipers, stereo, heater and airconditioning. ;)

    You'd better pray for no rain for next year.

    We see whom got all the hair. ;)

    That looks very quick and it must run cool with no bonnet. Of course Horse's will be 3 seconds faster. ;)

    Pat, Its a Lotus super 7 clone, just like a Westfield, Caterham, Birkin, Fraser etc etc, except we build the space frame, suspension etc from scratch - not a kit.

    Is it branded (a la Locost)? Or something like Ian Peters turns out?

    He certainly did, used a Westfield type body & silvertop 4AGE 20v. He sold it years ago.

    OK, I've just read the thread - there's an hour of my life I'll never get back. Lots of good, bloke-ish fun though. The drawings for the chassis and a how-to for sourcing parts were published in a book a few years ago (dubbed the "Locost"), although these days you could probably just google the whole thing.
    Pete, after all that welding practice, you'd be a whizz at putting a bracket on my trailer - good to know.
    Have you put any of the runners on the scales?
