I rode in one of these when I was maybe 10, and still remember how incredibly fast it felt even though we were going 50 or 60.
Is this going to be a daily driver btw?  |
Alex, “reasonable price” from your point of view given what these bring in the EU. But for me, retired and living on a fixed income I am forced to sell/give away all my other toys.
I’m no stranger to high speeds and unexpected happenings on road and track. My first car at 19 was 425 h.p. 427. I’ve also had big horse power small block V8’s and light nimble sports car like a 1973 Lotus Europa.
No, not a daily driver. As I said earlier in this thread; This is going to be my fun in the sun, old man at cars-n-coffee, enjoy the back roads, weekend machine. It’ll be stored during the winter months.
