Drop an LS7 in your MX-5, that'll show Dale.

The BMW needs smaller wheels. Rubber bands look shit.

i like that paint

im getting Porsche withdrawal symptoms

i'd rather drive an mx5 around a track than a bombed taxi in down a runway.

give me another suggestion for a cheap track day car that's better.

don't get me wrong they are good for the track, but please....they are a hairy gold chain wearing middle aged balding hairdresser/dentist car

Richie, do you want to go halves on an MX-5?

If we lose all sense of proportion we could use the Volvo wagon to trailer it to Brands Hatch.

You two will look like the tallest mincers in town driving round in that.

difference being?!?!

you're such a fanny, dale.

neil - reckon we'd get a trailer in our garage?

Dibs!

A trailer would fit, but backing it in would be a challenge- that said, we could always unhitch it and push the trailer in.

Of course, we could always stop short of full track car:

Great program on Gordon Murray tonight on BBC4

Don't doubt the guys genius but that micro car just seemed a bit impractical?

Not so. It carries three people, or two people and a set of golf clubs and I reckon you could fit a couple of bikes in as well as the other passenger.

Was the whole point of the micro car, not to make a car, but to prove the concept of a new manufacturing process that he is trying to pioneer?

I think he would want a successful product at the end of it.

Reminded me of a bubble car.

But he isn't selling the car! You can buy the car if you want to, and change how it looks as well, but you also have to find the capital investment to purchase the production line and also find a large building capable of housing said production line.

I was at Silverstone today. Zoom.
