Most kit car shows I have been to, have a massive attendance from the RHOC. They must be doing something right.

Agreer with you CaLviNx,
I seem to remember that RHE started out with a Ferrari Daytona replica? Don't know much about them, but they looked good. I've seen some
very good looking Locosts at shows, and I've seen some that looked very scary.

i'll agree with that, a friend of the family has a robin hood 2b, built to a fantastic standard but it took him 3yrs of hard graft and basically
remaking every panel supplied by them to actually fit. he says the rhoc is probably the most friendly club you could wish to join and then also allow
non robin hood owners to join etc so yeah i can understand why they are in such a great number.........
however....
of the many owners i've spoken to over the last couple of years i'm yet to find one that would actually build another robin hood!
back to the subject in hand though! the 360 rep doesn't look all that bad!
built a car, built a home, had a family. lost the family, lost the home, still got the car.

Yeah, but then again, I'll probably not be building another "Locost" - not unless someone pays me to

there doesnt seem to be many people who would biuld another one of the same. most peopleseem to move onto something different if they do a second kit.
you can see why building another of the same (less so with a locost) wouldnt be as much of a challenge whereas a new type of car would keep things
more interesting.
with a locost there is enough variation to keep it interesting by all the different versions. so if youve built a book one you could go and build
one of the improved chassis designs ones.

I guess it depends on why people are changing. I've had a sevenseque kit for 6 years now, and loved (almost!) every minute of it. However,
I'm now thinking "been there, done that" and wondering what else I'd like, both to build, and then run afterwards (I'm
not a serial builder). Also, now being 6 years older, something with a little more weather protection sounds quite nice! Maybe a different kit. Maybe
a classic. Maybe time to try building that hovercraft I keep wondering about
Back on the original subject of the RHE bodykit, I think we need to recognise that peoples desires and ability to realise them are different.
Personally I wouldn't want a pretend Ferrari, especially as it will perform just like an old MR2 (no offense to MR2s - but they ain't
Ferraris!) However, I have the time, patience and money to learn the skills and to build something that will go like a Ferrari, and (to my eyes) look
good. Lots of people aren't in that position, but might like having a nicer looking MR2...
So, power to RHE, especially if it fills a market niche, but it's not for me
Cheers
Richard

Nothing whatsoever against RH's
but a ferrari 'copy' ( very loose term) based on an old MR2 is just plain sad.
Bit like all the old biddies on TV who have too much plastic surgery, Is this the Joan Rivers of kit cars.
Kind of car Paul Calfe would drive complete with dixie airhorns
