New Scottish Locost owner...
Discussion
Morning all
Car buying a funny thing isn't it? I went "to have a look" at a Locost yesterday and, er, it's in my driveway now.
I know, I know. Never buy the first car you look at it.
It's had an interesting history and possibly a hard life as it's been used, albeit briefly, for drifting-I'd imagine you'd struggle to get one of these that hasn't been near a track though. i'm looking forward to a fettle and some fun with it.
It's running a Vauxhall red top on injection, type 9 box (I'm told but not sure-reverse behind 5th?) and live rear end. The boy selling it got it in August and didn't seem to know much about it. A bit of Google/Facebook stalking brought up the guy who had it before him who had it for at least 3 or 4 years.
He was also a Fifer and when Driftland opened up he took it there for some arse out action-the breaker bar in the pictures operates the hydraulic handbrake
Needless to say that breaker bar now occupies a shelf in the garage...
The boy got a bit more serious about drifting and started using saloons which are a bit more driftable. This languished in his garage and was then sold in August.
Here's his pics...
Now, if it could just stop snowing...
