....So its not because youve got a set of wheels you want to put on something then??

G40 (an ok cut down of the G50)

G50 - AMAZIN!


55ant - 17/6/10 at 08:01 PM

Make everything - ha-ha, not a the moment, they’re currently on my dads project, he's borrowed them for the time being!

I think I’m just being impatient, cant find the car I want, so looking further a field,

I didn’t want to tell you guys but i actually enjoyed driving my mondeo today, please don’t judge me, I’m having horrific withdrawal symptoms.


scootz - 17/6/10 at 08:01 PM

What kind of car do you want?


55ant - 17/6/10 at 08:10 PM

fury with a windscreen and le mans bonnet, modern car engine in black or other classic colour (dark blue/green)

sorry matty, that really aint for me! fronts ok but the back end?


beagley - 17/6/10 at 08:48 PM

I'm not ashamed to say it but.... you guys in the UK get all the cool kits cars to choose from. Aside from like the 4 or 5 guys here in the states and Canada that do 7-esques there are very few options for kit cars unless you want a Shelby Cobra.

Those Ginetta's were beautiful, I think I drooled a bit on my keyboard. Especially that G50...wow...


scudderfish - 17/6/10 at 08:48 PM

If I didn't have my Fury, I'd have a G27. There has been one advertised in the back of one of the kitcar mags for months now.

Lovely cars!! get one get one

Even Better with a V8 - Go to Newark this weekend and have a chat with the Owners Club

There are 4 series of G27 + ex race series cars - Engines form X-flow to RV8 and plenty in between Live axle , Jag axle, Sierra independent - so lots of variance.

Had mine a couple of years now and very impressed - a lot smaller than you think - less room than narrow body westfield - shorter wheelbase as well.

g50 or nothing for me


zetec mike - 17/6/10 at 11:38 PM

Ginetta every time !

I think the Marlin looks very nice, and cheap too. You guys are indeed spoilt.


iank - 18/6/10 at 06:56 AM

G4 is pretty if you want a classic one and can find one cheap.


RichieHall - 18/6/10 at 09:40 AM

Buy one!!!!!

I absolutely love mine, I'm even concidering putting her through the SVA


imp paul - 18/6/10 at 10:16 AM

if you want a g27 my mate has a very nice 1 ex works car in yellow pm me if you want his number

I think if you dont get the car you really want you will regret it - ISTR you have only been looking for about a week....................
I sometimes think about selling my Fury and building something else - but I cant find a better car

Fury Le Mans in Blue....no windscreen (for wimps) and a turbo pinto. Not the most recent engine granted by nice looking car.


Rosco - 18/6/10 at 11:34 AM

I took me a while to decide between a Fury and G27. I eventually went for a Fury as I thought the G27 was a bit too big, a bit too heavy and more limited in engine options.

Don't get me wrong I think they're great but you'd be as well to buy an old TVR.

F400

I would be doing some digging, your car used to have road plates, i'm sure of it....


55ant - 18/6/10 at 09:00 PM
