Thinking about it, it's a good job that mine'd be trailered - you should see the size of the weeny tank I've opted for!!
I'd need to develop some sort of 'in flight' refueling otherwise by the time I got to Portugal you'd all be on your way
back
Anyway, when's the trip?

ouch! ..swine..
speaking of hair dryers, my missus is dead keen on the idea but the first thing she said was 'oh if theres a truck that means I can take more
stuff'...
so you might find the 'support' vehicle ends up full of 'other halfs' hair dryers and clothes.....

Marc,
Count me in for all. This is obviously on 2 conditions: I get the feckin' thing finished then registered and that I can evade capture by the
rozzers after robbing a bank for the funds.
Cheers

well it seems there is plenty of interest in the trip to portugal / trackdays and a proper owners club which is fantastic
one of our customers who came this morning has expressed that he would like to setup a mnr championship of some sort most likely to include sprints
etc with us providing some decent prizes so i would like to check interest in this idea too
i feel that this side of mnr is very important as i have been very lucky to meet a lot of great prople who have become customers and freinds
and im sure like minded petrol heads should gather more often to share in the fun and experiance of owning/ building the cars and most importantly
using them
for this reason i am happy to support the owners club and race ideas as much as humanly possible ( bearing in mind how busy we are ) by providing web
space clothing, prizes and events and im open to any ideas of group events etc ( as long as i dont have to drive the truck all the time )
As many of you will know im getting itchy feet and desperate to go racing next year and have already built both my racecars a rgb seven and a lmp
bikesports plus we may also do some other series where the cars are eligible
we also have 5 - 10 customers who will be competing next year possibly more with the advent of a mnr type series, we would like to involve our
customers as much as possible in our exploits so will be giving away tickets to come and spend a weekend watching the racing and being part of our
team maybe even inspiring some of you to give the racing a go
these are all ideas im bouncing off you guys to see which direction you would like to see this going in as it is your club so you should decide
best regards
marc

Joao collects kit in van.
Drives back to Portugal
Builds Car (very nice too!)
Tows trailer with car aboard back to Harrogate
Car is SVA'd
Joao(2) flies to UK, picks up road legal car and drives back to Portugal.
I think that's what happened..... apologies if I'm wrong!
That was exactly like that.

Is it possible for them without any problems to import an british sva“d car to portugal and drive it there. Don“t they have anything like SVA in
portugal?
No, unfortunetly we do not.
What we are doing is importing a second hand UK immatriculated car as if it were a, say, a Ford.

Sounds like a great idea Marc!
I for one would be very up for the idea of seeing MNR compete in RGB and the like. I'd definitely like to see how competitive these VortXs are
in comparison to the other manufacturers.
You say you've got the LMP car finished too Marc!? Pictures!! What engine did you use in the end?

a FORD?? You cant! a Ford has a european homologation! a MNR has a sva thats a national homologation.
European homologation is for every country and they cant regret it excepts its build different then stated on the building papers.
hope you can inform me about the trick you apply since i“m in the same boat!
in that way you can create an estoril opponent

They are importing a car that was registered in another european country. Once a car has been registered somewhere in europe it can be easily exported
to another european country. So if you register it here you'd import it into spain as if it was any other car.

Yeah i know!
But any other car has a EEG / CE homologation... and the SVA is a National homologation...
and a country has some rulez to be able to apeal any import wich isn“t EEG / CE homologation.. anyway the process is easyer then homologate it
overhere to the standard of here..

An EU National Homologation is valid in any EU country due to an european directive.

You are getting just half of the fun that building and legalizing was.
. bought kit on the phone (never saw one in flesh, never drove one)
. March, 17, flew to UK with (pregnant) wife, bought a Mondeo near Manchester, bought a trailer near Stoke on Trent, drove to MNR
. met Marc and Chris
. collect kit
. drove back to Portugal
. build car (90% as Marc said)
. July, 25th, loaded the trailer and returned to UK with Joao Matoso.
. trailer went on eBay, Mondeo on Marc's hands, and VortX on finishing touches
. Me and Matoso... we got back on a motorcycle that I bought near Darley
. Missed the ferry to Santander, so I had to go to North France... and all the way down to Portugal
. MNR finished the car and SVAed it
. October, 14, Joao Matoso flew to Leeds, went to MNR, after never driving such a beast took off to Portsmouth, ferry to Bilbao (where he was treated
as Schumacher ), and then to Lisbon (under HEAVY HEAVY rain and T-Storms).
Madness??? No way... pure absence of brain
The point is.. there is no point, just passion!
Defenetly it wouldn't be possible if there were no Marc or Chris, as they have been fabolous helping in everything.
THANKS MARC.
THANKS CHRIS.
Cheers to MNR.
Joao
PS: forgot to mention... not revealing his age, Matoso is old school... actually he is Before-School ... no... 57, actually

Awesome story! You nutjob!
It certainly says something about the car to drive it back from Harrogate after SVA without any problems.
Good luck and enjoy the car,
You certainly sound mad enough to get the most from a nutty car!
