I know little about the cost of building a race car but that does seem like a fair price, no?

Geoff is a perfectionist - it'll be a great car but where to race it here in that spec ?

Ken's car, I could have bought from Dave for £9500 but didn't have the dosh.

Any car from Stefan will be quick !

Good for you Sean, that's a cracking car for the money. Those custom cages are excellent, a stiff shell is the best way to start out for a race car.
Do you have any specs on the motor you can share with us? What is your final drive in the R180?

Hi Matt.

It's currently wearing a 4.6 but I'll have a 4.44 and 4.11 too and I think probably the 4.44 will be just about right but I must check once run in, dyno-ed and we know how the engine behaves, what's the red-line etc.

When I was racing with the HSCC we all ran 4.375's witch was the secret ratio at the time.
I believe a certain Mr B who we both know has moved to a 4.6. All depends on which tracks your running at of course.
I'd be very interested to watch your progress.

Mr B has retired despite now having 2x racing Zs !

Don't hold your breath for me - I'll need some coaching (fancy coming over for a track day or two ?), car sorted, papers sorted, my papers sorted...health sorted....! The journey there will also be good fun and therapy.

Sorry I mean Charles.
Once things get back to normal I'm def up for a trip over to you.
Dean was due to race at leMans next month, and his Spa Race in June was cancelled of course.
