That only leaves £151 to build the car...


Mr Whippy - 20/2/08 at 10:31 AM

what is it, another over priced book again?


Macbeast - 20/2/08 at 10:32 AM

But, don't forget, postage is FREE


02GF74 - 20/2/08 at 10:36 AM

is it a mistake or are people really willing/stupid to pay that much?

(for a £ 100 I'd sell mine).


I take it is no longer in print?

On amazon there are 3, £125, £ 235 and £ 305

Mine's signed by Uncle Ron - how much is THAT worth?!

(on second thoughts, it could reduce the price...)


Mr Whippy - 20/2/08 at 10:52 AM

I have all the books

though considering the plans are available free on the web what's the point of a book?

Its a bargain compared to these prices,

I bought mine last week for £8.50 inc postage

Am I missing something here?

The book doesn't give enough information to properly build the car, the chassis design is a bit wonky so you get bump-steer, the last chapter is basically just "and now throw it all together".

£100??? You can get a built chassis for not much more than that....


Mr Whippy - 20/2/08 at 12:06 PM

Has someone hacked Amazon?

I can't believe that a 12 quid book is now worth over 300

I'm thinking of selling it, as it really is out of print, but not sure...

Here's another book that usually goes for silly money...

750 Racer


Mr Whippy - 20/2/08 at 02:19 PM

I see this is overpriced for what it's worth also. I bought this and then thought what a load of c$ap!
