Indeed - agreee on the best driven angle - well that is till they break or chassis turns to dust.

funny how most in UK assume they have a plastic car and only 10+ years down the road find they are failing MOTs for rotted chassis - make you laugh.

Very. Will make the Purple Beast look tame smile

Proper Griffith200 (3rd one made), full race (but will be road leagl for the odd run out), will have north of 500bhp and be about 200kg less than the Chim with a 5.5" shorter wheelbase and narrower (but sticky tyres), should be an interesting ride, these thing are TINY! See Profile.

My old Chim disappeared once sold - I think the chap does not drive it! He asked me if I knew any one that would fancy buying it 6 months on (he had done 400 miles! and he lived 200 mile away). Think he kept it in the end though. What a waste - One fill up in 6 months. I'd do that in a week! Sad, but aleast it is still out there.
