Jamie,

You shouldn't be so harsh, I think it looks pretty good and it makes a change from the 7 types which 90% of us are running about in.

Hope to see you on a run soon.

Welcome along Jamie. If you've had a trawl through the site and had a look at the piccies of all our various machines you will have noticed that, apart from a growing yellow Tiger contingent that's been building up recently ( :o ), we do all tend to have individual looking cars. So, nothing wrong with adding another one to the mix!

And am I the only one who thought it looked like a) the batmobile (not a bad thing), b) someone had nicked Rich's "green machine" whilst he's on hols and given it a respray?

:shock: :o WHAT! The jester was designed to be a fun car (buggy) not a fast car, so has "quirky" looks to match, both my wife & daughter love them.

But mostly, the Jester was the only to have a "professionally" designed body, done by someone other than JP (Hugo McPherson :ugeek: ). So my assertation stands, Mr Phillips has never designed an ugly car.

Much as I love Jeremy Phillips and his cars, the Jester came with a Sylva badge which makes it one of his. It's certainly quirky......its also bloody ugly!
