Does one have to be crazy to drive such a contraption ? There is no law for or against it but it sure helps to have lost some marbles. Your "normal" neighbour envies you but would never buy, build or drive such a car. |
|
How to buy a kit and how to get it back home ? The little firm does not want to take risks so a least a bank guaranty must be handed over before an order is accepted, shipping can be arranged. Untill now kits were sold to Holland, Germany, Belgium and France. All new owners came to pick up the kit themselves. |
Is there a UK based club where we can get information ?
Where can we get commercial information ?
