Very nice. Is that a Cup car or just some additional cage?

I'd love one of these (or a Nomad) especially as they are quite local to me.

But I suspect if I got one I wouldn't use it a lot.

So fill your boots OP!

It's a bolt on roll bar that goes over the standard hoop, for the road it'll be removed but probably a good idea to fit it for track days.
Gotcha.

Looks good - better than a standard car - I've always thought they looked a bit odd with just the air intake hoop

Cool!

I drove a 300 at Elvington a year or so back... mental things. It's hard to comprehend how fast it is and even more so that it is road legal.

I bet you can't wait to get it, hope its dry when you do pick it up too.

Absolutely, everything I read didn't prepare me for the drive. The last one was a 3 so am keen to try this 3.5 with the dampers off of the Mugen. Wrong time of year but this is when the sellers are more approachable. It's going to be mental. Cold, but mental smile
I noticed it had a screen, shouldn't be too cold! laugh

Tomorrow is the day, totally surreal really. I had the Tillett seats fitted as an option which delayed and made things more expensive! I cant wait to hear that supercharger again smile

Ohhh - very nice sir, I´m not jealous, not in the f... slightest...! Excellent tyre choice there, much better than the shoite on the one in the image in your first post:P

I bought the car with one set of std wheels and a set of Dymags. Guessing neither will last so well!

11 hrs to go, not that I'm counting.

Good move changing the tyres. Ive driven an atom on those toyo T1-Rs, and it was awful. A light powerful car needs good tyres. :-)

At the risk of coming over all practical, they must be a bugger to keep clean.
