I would soooo love your car!
Nah, its not an "Im richer than you" thread, I mean, what kind of jerk measures their wealth by what kind of car their family drives?
For example: I have a total of about 150 quid. And my dad built his car for around 14,000. I can see that 14,000 is a hell of a lot of money, not something to be thrown away on some un-important car. But this was my dad's hobby, his passion, his mid-life crisis, he worked for weeks on end on that thing, and so he got it through hard work and perseverance.
And its not like you have to build a car, just saving for that cadillac above is a huge acheivement!

@nickorooster, was your dads car a kit? does he know about the book by ron chapman "how to build a sports car for under £250, and race it" the £250 bit is rubbish unless you are really lucky. i'm building my locost on a budget of £2000, and the bike engine i want costs over half of the budget!

Haha wow, under 50 quid .
He got a rolling chassis from Freshair Motoring (In australia) its called a Lietch, its a kiwi made kit, and yeah, he did the rest himself, but he figured that if he was to build a car, it might as well take him longer and have better parts etc.
Meh.
