Bought it. Knew that I would have neither the time nor the talent (as witnessed by my LSD conversion project) to do the whole job.

But love driving it and meeting like minded people.

Ditto. Spent about the same as an older xflow Caterham would hav cost me, but took 3 years to finish whereas I could have bought tha Caterham and converted to Zetec for not too much money.

That's what I'll be doing next though
