Quite right man! Shy weans get nae sweeties.

Similarly, my mate Andy's first car was an Austin 1300 which turned out to have a tired 848cc Mini engine.
It wasn't quick...

Tried to be as detailed as I could, FB doesn’t allow enough characters so mentioned in the advert that the full details are in the pics.

He's prioritising two categories of his other customers over you: the ones with lucrative easy* jobs, and the whiners. You need to get a bit more whiney.

I hope they don't want you to put it back in the box to send it back 🤐

But I decided fuck it and this might happen

I've had significantly worse days. 






I've never done any performance driving or particularly hot cars. As it turned out, I can drive a bit quicker than I thought. 9th overall out of 50 participants on 8 activities. 6th fastest in the F3000 car. Generally 2nd fastest in my group but other groups had some serious drivers in them! 
Caterham Pursuit was great fun, a little skid/stunt course. Absolutely bloody bossed it, arse end sideways all the way but under complete control, no idea how! 😁

Just managed to obtain a tax exempt Kawasaki Z750 frame, so now I need the rest to make my penniless special, has anyone got anything lying around, available very cheaply that I could graft into it? I'm after at least a 600 lump, preferably on carbs, preferably Kawasaki, I also need yokes, forks, tank, maybe a nicer swingarm?..
You don't ask, you don't get, as they say..
Oh and yeah, yeah, points based system for vehicle identities, radically altered vehicles, nuns and kittens will die etc. I know.
