I've always liked the thought of these. Something to hammer endlessly around the track and not worry about ruining the daily. I appreciate they are light, but I didn't realise they had such weedy engines.... I wonder if they'd drop the new 2.0 Turbo Civic Type R engine in there?
The base model has more power than the S2 Elise i owned. Its the same concept low weight doesn't need huge power to shift.Ill take mine in white

Also... the voiceover announcer is, imo, insufferable. He's ideal for a late-night television advert, but not, imo, for the matter-of-fact context of a how-to documentary.
His classical "buy this now" style of pronunciation is very like that in the following parody:

Also, I hate the way Americans pronounce a T that isn't there at the beginning of the word chassis.

We can set you up, Clockwork Orange style, with an endless loop of US lips and their pronunciations. Actually, the UK pronunciation of chassis, to the US ear, sounds effete and/or French.

On one floor you've got all the chassis being welded and jigged together, then upstairs they're assembling a G58 or LMP1 car and making carbon bits to go into the autoclave.

I went to the PH Sunday Service last year at Ginetta for the tour - it's an industrial unit (so you could call it a "shed"), but when you see it you know they mean business.
