dome Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 So, a few options were thought of for my next car. A Lotus Excel had been on my radar but the best (cheapest...) one I found went before I could get to it and the others around didn't do it for me. An MR2 was considered, a P6 also tickled my fancy but a trip to Kirkcaldy yesterday "for a look, I doubt I'll buy it" resulted in a bit of research and a slightly cheeky offer. Onto tonight and the game was set... Finished work, went home and collected the battle hardened Mrs Dome and of fofr the 20 odd mile drive to Kirkcaldy. On arrival the temperature was slightly low.  Now normally this would not be of concern. Monies were exchanged, paperwork signed and I got to drive my new steed for the first time. To the petrol station!  And there she is! £9 later and the tank was full. I could get used to this. A working fuel gauge would help though... More to follow. Note the protruding breaker bar, it has a story... anonymous user, cros, gm and 39 others 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dome Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 A convertible, or something with a bypassed/fucked heater matrix maybe? Yes, and absolutely no heater whatsoever. I know what it is.    Bastard. So you'll not be wanting a go next time you're up then? That looks fun/cold/scary Yes, yes and yes.

dome Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 It's running a Vauxhall red top, type 9 box and live rear end. The boy selling it got it in August and didn't seem to know much about it. A bit of Google/Facebook stalking brought up the guy who had it before him who had it for at least 3 or 4 years. He was also a Fifer and when Driftland opened up he took it there for some arse out action-the breaker bar in the pictures operates the hydraulic handbrake  Needless to say that breaker bar now occupies a shelf in the garage... The boy got a bit more serious about drifitng and started using saloons which are a bit more driftable. This languished in his garage and was then sold in August. Here's his pics... Conrad D. Conelrad, Banger Kenny, Skizzer and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Morose Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 So you'll not be wanting a go next time you're up then? I don't fit in the bloody things. I bought one unseen years ago, fitted with a dolly sprint engine. All well and good until I went to drive the thing and found my corpulent frame was too large. Sold at a great loss. Apparently, they're a bit of a laugh though.

Sigmund Fraud Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Now that's what I call a midlife crisis car ! I've been looking at kitcars for a while (yes, I have reached that age !), but unfortunately the usual sub-£1K AS budget doesn't even get you an unfinished Dutton, let alone something driveable.
