An interesting what car thread.. promotional vehicle needed!

[r200mgr]

Hi Guys,

I'm in need of some inspiration so I thought I'd start a what car thread, its not for your typical family saloon though.

I'm opening an indoor go-karting circuit and at some point we may be looking to purchase a vehicle for promotional purposes. We'd be looking for something that would attract the maximum attention for the minimum cost and preferably related to karting/motorsport in some way.

Hit me with some ideas

It's gotta be a 3 wheel van, just paint it yourself..the yellow ones all cost more!

Honda nsx
911
Stratos

DeLorean. I think the place in Warrington has one?

[NightRunner]

I'm sure this would draw some attention...

Thats a good shout but more than we were looking to spend but maybe something to think about in the future.

The Elise is also a potential and the Seicento is awesome but won't create the right visual impression.

Other vehicles we've considered are;-

Road legal go-kart
Road legal single seater
Ford F150 lightning

Original Mini Cooper. People always say "it handles like a kart" afterall

What is your budget?, it might help us give you suggestions

Some sort of Caterfield-type thing?

Ferrari F40, and paint on your company logo down the side

Honda Pilot Buggy or the road legal go kart for me.

Something now cool and sporty from the early 80's that jogs some childhood memories. Fiesta XR2i, Audi quattro, BMW 635i, Escort XR3i, E30 325i.

Must be very good condition and original though, the difference between good nick or "can't afford to run something newer" is slim.

I hate to say it but a smart car would be the closest thing to a kart in roadgoing form. Rear drive, short overhangs, two pedals, engine in the back. You could get a silhouette of a Kart drawn around the cars wheelbase for even greater effect.
