Apparently I'm a boy racer!

It's GEARED for a max of 170! They don't listen (or want to listen) to what you tell them! However it's still pushing you in the back VERY hard at 140, so I strongly suspect it would make around 160, but you'd need a long, long straight to find out.

Eddie, no not doing Exeter or (probably) any other Kitcar shows, just not worth it from my point of view - the car generates it's own publicity, if people want one, or any bits they know where to find me!

Yeah, that bit's about right, around 200 hours + stripping donor & refurbishing parts, then faffing about with paperwork, IVA, DVLA etc

The horribly placed (although not doubt legal) front numberplate on the RedBull car ruins it for me

Because the kits only cost about £10k to build (acording to the website) I doubt its got any 'extras' to and doubt it cost 18k in man hours to build!

Yeah, but I doubt an £80,000 Porsche costs anywhere near £40,000 to build
