Valued input thanks! The bike engine, provided it can be geared for reverse, has a strange attraction to me... Probably something to do with the thought of the noise and feel of 14k rpm in a 500kg tin shoebox :)
Views on other "replicas" anyone? Heard that MK's can be a bit rough around the edges but always fancied a something like this as an alternative:
Tiger...

Would have thought for a hundred quid it would shift even on here in no time. Second hand kit lens on the bay and someone has got a tidy DSLR starter package for potentially £150ish all in?!
Renault Orpington.... Made the error of going in there for a wheel bolt once. 6 quid for a sodding wheel nut, the guy at the counter genuinely looked embarrassed to be selling me one at that price...
Should have pm'd the parts warehouse that is Mr Budgie, at least now I know in future!!
Liked this car when I spotted it in the media section.... Would have snapped up one like that 6 months ago when I got mine, looks in great condition! Cheeky shot of your new motor in there as well (#579)
Haha my gf would threaten to disown me I'm sure, but I suppose if I stuck her on the insurance she'd go along with it!!
Wet weather gear would be my biggest concern as that is one thing that the VX/Elise offer slightly greater in. I could also live without the radio/ac/electrics as I am happy...
I have loved this since you first posted about it!
How are you finding it as a daily? Will it be used through the winter?
I would love to have 7 esque kit car, but I honestly don't know if I could run it as my only car?! The natural step down the ladder is VX220/Elise/TVR but I'd really be...
After some of the stuff in here I feel I might well be another one making up the movement numbers lol! Nothing fancy from me...
ENTRY The Grape thief!!
Another one that sort of fits the bill.... You should have seen how fast "Mrs" Wick moved after this shot was taken...
Why not have a stab at the front grill yourself? Pretty easy to get an even spray on a grill and the plastic needs minimal prep (assuming it's the same as the 1*2 grill). Diffuser I am not so sure?!
SprayShack on here gets good paint reviews, drop him a pm if you want a post and return price...
Interesting thread... My next camera purchase is a toss up between a new lens that fits your spec or a flashgun. Will keep an eye on this for feedback!
1. Flame Red 172 in Yate (SW yesterday)
2. Arctic 182 on the A36 towards Frome (SW yesterday)
3. Black 182 in the pay & display Frome town centre (SW yesterday)
4. Arctic 182 heading clockwise on the M25 between J5-6 (SE today 17:20ish)
5. Storm Grey 200 heading clockwise on the M25 between...
I might make a surprise appearance with the camera, unfortunately I'm incapable of planning my life more than a few days in advance.... So hopefully I'm free :)
