sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

is this the single seater we're talking about ?? as it isn't really a seven, Martin Keenan has recently produced a 2 seater Midi R1 rear
engined you might want to look at his site mkengineering.co.uk. He has spent a lot of time on the geometry and aesthetics wellworth a look and a chat
with him before jumping in there is also the MK lads who now manafacture out of a workshop in Maltby, on Aven industrial estate. The Indy R is a Mad
Dave Design. and apparently the handling is awesome.
