Hi there
Hey every1one, im new here.
Ok I need some help on deciding what Kit Car to get. I have put it down to either a Tiger avon or a Aries locost.
The Aries seems to be a bit more appealing to me but cant find any real information about it, where as the Tiger Avon quite a few people have done it,
but you dont seem to get many things to pick for it?
Any help would be really great!
Thanks
Hammond

IIRC The "Aries" Locost used to be the "Stuart Taylor" Locost....quite a few of them around...

Warm welcome. Lot's of info and help here.
What brought you to shortlist those two, against the other "popular" choices?
Cheers

Aries as said is ex Stuart Taylor Motorsport ie racing bred.... I'm biased but that's what I'd go for!!!

I would be tempted to add Mac1,Mk and MNR to your list. get to some shows and take a look at the cars.

I have looked around but the Aries and the Tiger are the in my affordable range, as this will be my 1st kit car I dont really know if there are any
others that are in the price range of mine. But I am very tempted to go with the Aries

Another vote for the Aries (biased again though I'm afraid)...!

Yes
Oh sorry, you want me to tell you?
Locoblade has a Honda Fireblade engine in it, Locost has a car engine.
I have reached the limits of my expertise.

PS what about a Haynes Roadster? 
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
