Hi all

New to the forum, I've decided I need a toy for the weekends. Had porsche before but decided to try something new. A mate has a Caterham and loves it but the prices are a bit rich. I'm shopping around and have seen the MK Indy. Watched You Tube vids and they look frighteningly quick which is just what I want. They look and sound great but I'm going in to something new. As a newbie would you recimmend one of these or a Westie or the Gt Panther? Is there much difference in them? I really like the Mk but note its a bike engine. Do they require more maintenance? Read they need a rebuild every 3000 miles! Basically I want something I can go for a blast on weekends and the odd track day during summer months, put away in winter and be able to get it out nxt year with minimal maintenance. Was going to do a track experience with MK but any other advice or pointers would be much appreciated? I'm based in Worcester. Thanks
Stu

Thank you all for the advice. Its definately westie or MK. I will be buying a second hand one. Westfield were really helpful. Sales guy saidvif I do just make sure there's lots of paperwork. This will prove whats been done on it and shows its been cared for. Any other adice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks all

Looks great mate and sounds wicked! MK or Westie I think. When I find one I'll prob pop it on here and see what you all think. When it comes to the techy stuff like suspension, brake type, differentials etc I've not got a clue but by the sounds of it these don't take much maintenace and as long as it has a good background happy days 😊Thanks again.
