hi all

am lookin for advice about the best car to go for...

will be my second build and am lookin at MNR, Mac1, Luego, Stuart Taylor and MK

any advice appreciated

They are all essentially the same

As has been said recently in another thread. Go and have a look at the ones you are interested and an make your own mind up. Theres a huge show coming up at Stoneleigh (midlands) and all the manufacturers will be there so you can have a good nosey at the cars then.

All you will get on here are loads of biased opinions

Best advice is to meet the manufacturers and make your own mind up.

Asking on here will end up with a x is better than y because I bought it.

I looked at MK and MNR, MK have a good following, MNR are only 15 or so months old. I was bowled over by how helpful MNR were and the quality of the product.

Since ordering my kit they've updated the chassis yet again as they are constantly looking for ways to improve the car and I don't think Marc will ever be totally happy with it

I will refrain from answering your question as iam bulding a kit - therefore seriously biassed as is everyone on this site. As said above you really need to go to the shows, talk to commercial bods and owners in the car parks, short list then visit them 'at home'.

I'm not biased since I'm too poor for all that! However, having looked at a few the only thing I could get comfy in was the luego viento, but since i don't want a v8 I thought it was a bit much. Ignore anyone that says mine's better than yours because I've gt one. They got one to suit there own requirements. Yours are likely to be different. I'd suggest amking a list of what you want it for (road/track etc), want to do with it (daily driver/distance rallies etc) and things you'd like to have (v8/bec/seats to suit fat people ) Then find something that fits.
