The whole fun of a 7 is to build it, then have the excitement of finally rolling it out under its own power. Go buy a mass production car if you want to buy and drive

In that case I've got so much damn character I can hardly stand it!!





I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy...

I got me more of that character than you can shake a stick at.

Mind you, you're from Texas, so your stick's almost certainly bigger than mine

If like me you're the kind of person who likes building things for fun, then you'll enjoy building a Locost from scratch. At the moment my hobby is car building.

If you have little interest in the construction side then buy a kit - something from the usual suspects will still be cheaper than Westfailed or Cateringham, and you'll still be able to say that you played a major part in its construction.

When I finish this car my hobby will be car driving/car upgrading/car modifying...
