Newbie - Something a bit different!

[Russ Bost]

Hi All
I'm new to this forum, but been around themotor trade for years. This is my scratch built roadgoing 2 seater F1 lookalike - it's powered by 2 Kawasaki 1000's, so it's quite quick I am aware it's not everyones cup of tea, but it'd be a boring old world if we all liked the same!

Mental.. I'm sure I saw something like this for sale in PPC recently?

[Russ Bost]

I think I know the car you're talking about that ones a single seater with an Alfa flat four lump & they want £29k for it!!!

[lazyitus]

That is absolutely barmy. You must be bloody mad.

Good man !!!

[Gad-Westy]

Was this the one that was doing the rounds in the newspapers recently? Bet its fun!

[Davi]

that's - nice one

Think it would look better with black wheels though!

[Vesuvius 996]

I bet it sounds fit!

[Russ Bost]

Yes it was in the Mail & the Metro earlier this year & on BBC tv news, it is immense fun & the sound is magnificent & I'm not painting my lovely silver wheels black or paying for BBS ones!

Just wanted to say I think the car is superb, I'm the guy with the Scooby who was chatting to you at the Dick Turpin meet a few weeks ago. You probably didn't realise but you later accelerated out of a slip road as I was coming down the dual carriageway, I floored the Scooby & you just disappeared into the distance - in front of me I hasten to add LOL I've never seen anything accelerate like that - anywhere - ever!!!!!
I've been keeping an eye on your website & the development of the new car, best of luck with it, glad to see you've taken my advice & joined pistonheads, I've taken the liberty of putting a post in general gassing linking to this one, the car deserves to be seen by more people - cheers Mate

This needs some footage!!

[cossiemetro]

its very cleaver especially how it turns into a 2 seater i was impressed i must say

[Russ Bost]

In reply to questions, tax disc lives just inside the cockpit on LHS, no idea if thats legal, but not been stopped as yet!
Weight is around 600kgs - it was 680 at SVA, but it's been on a diet ever since.

Dude ! ! !

That's awesome

Off to hunt for the specs . . .

[busta]

Wow thats amazing.

Must have been a bitch getting it through the SVA though!

[Russ Bost]

I have a pic of it as it was at SVA, it's pretty gruesome tho', if you want to see it you'll need the chuck bag handy!
