Re: Which car?
nowt to do with me how you invest your hard earned Lee....but my for my 2 cents, i think you mentioned reliability with the Tiger? It's always struck me that although I like the concept of a bec i'd personally be thinking about reliability and who/where to go when there's a problem.
OK, that sounds a bit neg and i know there's loads that race/sprint etc, but if it were me, i'd be weighing up the pro's/cons and what to do mid season if there's a problem.
for sure aside from bec/cec i'd be weighing up whether i truly want a car sat at home that might non road legal, cos although your circs may prevent you doing Tours etc - having a competition toy that oly gets a few airings a year is far from having something like the Tiger where you can go for a 30min blast of an evening/early morn to blow the cobwebs....

Totally agree mate. And this is the bloody conundrum im facing. I took the tiger out on saturday for a 2 hour blat and i just couldnt do that with a race only car...
Im sure youve heard my go through this phase before anyway... Like last time when i rebuilt the engine...then the body work...

I suspect...we will be having this same convo in another two years mate...

Re: Which car?
Keep it road legal if you can, wished the green car was and would probably have done more events with it.

Re: Which car?
