Hi Mabbx

Off to Anglesey next Friday as RTR's race Rocket XP1 is racing again in the Sport Specials with the 750MC. Are you coming for a run out, that would put a few miles on your car -smile

Went to Donington Park kit car show yesterday and was surprised to have a tap on the shoulder and told by Complete Kit Car Magazine and Car Builder Solutions I had won the best car at the show award woohoo

Car Builder Solutions judged the competiton and kindly gave me £100 in vouchers as the prize and another pic of my mug will be in next months CKC excepting the award.

Very humbled and very generous of Car Builder Solutions bowbeer

Nice to meet the many people who came over to the MEV area and had a chat

Hi All,

Slight funny tern of events but car has now been sold frown

I have another project to possible start next year so as it was coming to the end of the summer I thought I would tentitvly put an advert up - sold in 2 days. Mixed feelings but needs must and at least it free's up some money to build again.

Just thought I would post this new clip of the MEVabusa. It has just had its first full shake down with the full footage to be released soon:

Looks like a fun bit of kit driving

I've heard that your old supercharged Rocket is going to be on the Road Track Race stand at the Top Gear Live show at the NEC over the next 4 days if anyone would like to see it in the flesh wink

Hello all. Today I have registered on the forum, and I am not sure if this topic has already been discussed , I want to build a vehicle on the model of mev rocket, not exactly the same of course, but I am interested in the dimensions of this kit car. maybe, someone has something, such dimensions as length, width, height, wheelbase, etc.
