The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

Some nice suggestions, I was thinking Caterham Levanté V8 shoe horned into my Panda, lowered with some kind of AWD.

A dream garage kitted out with a pit / 4 poster and all rest id need then onto a GT40 kit with mega power, a few luxuries like aircon to make it a real all weather kit and then beef up the MNR with the most track sensible kit possible and find a cool (if you can say that?) motor home to make the most of towing the MNR around this countries tracks and the european ones.

Got to admit, if I had loads of cash I wouldn't even consider owning a kitcar. I'd probably buy a factory built Caterham for trackdays but that's not really a kitcar is it?

Sticking to kit style builds:

Lola T70 rep (oh wait, already doing that).
Lancia Stratos rep.
Modernised 7 style car (like that v8 swedish car I can't remember the name of now).
Ultima style car with two bike engines longitudinally in the back inboard powerboat style.
Traditional 6/ early 7 style ally bodied car with narrow wire wheels.

Cheers

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

for me it would be,

ultima can am
xj220

some sort of super sleaper, such as a veyron engined transit, always liked the supervans and seen the xj220 test bed transit.

spend a lot of money on learning how to drive fast.

but my main 'project', id love to build a helicopter. dont know why.






away from cars, now cycling and building TT bikes

Just get me Espace serviced

Gradually going off spending loads on cars (irrespective of my imagined wealth situation). Prob stretch to an Ultima eventually but XF diesel I like. May get Deimos finished at some point.
