Mrs bob calls my car "that bitch in the garage" enough said on that one i think.
At the end of the day it doesnt really matter what you call it,as long as your on the road and happy with it who cares.

I think ive been getting it all wrong. Was at the Locost meeting at Ackworth last night and I would say that more than half of the locosts were MK
Indys.
Does this mean an Indy is a locost?????

It's quite a surprise to find that I don't have a Locost after all this time!!!!
Mine's 4 inches wider than Ron's original and therefore not as the book.
Surely the Locost has a homemade chassis?
The locost continues Britains proud heritage of the "Special" car, built by the owner from scratch.
Even if you bought a "book" size chassis from a manufacturer, what you have there young man is a kit car.
Not that any of it matters really
Cheers

There weren't many Locosts at Ackworth last week, 3 out of 17 ISTR!
MKs were in abundance, Tigers and a brace of Westfields. Perhaps we should rename the club Locost inspired Owners Club!

Until I built the Locost, I always wanted a Caterham. A couple of my mates had them and I always promised myself one.
Then came THE BOOK.
I have thoroughly enjoyed building and driving my Locost and no longer yearn for a Caterham. I have subsequently driven another Caterham and genuinely
prefer the comfort and ride of my own car - not to mention the fact that it's all my own work.
