how about a share of westfield or caterham
just for fun

Nice

At the moment there are 13,199 members on here. If we each put in a quid, we could buy a basic spec Caterham. Then if we each had it for 1 day, you'd get a go every 36.1 years?

Or we could all stand around the edge of a track and watch someone else rag it.

But surely buying a share in something better than a Caterfield would be an improvement? - Takes cover!!!

We could put £20 in the pot each and buy a T1 Caparo. Then we could play russian roulette with it!

I like the idea of a group (en mass)sponsored entry into a 750mc series..

I think it would difficult not to develope a fantastic setup with all the members getting stuck into an actual 'representing' car. With the members supporting at the race rounds in their areas..

good idea?

Actually i do like that idea - except for one problem. Who gets the car / to drive it?

Seems one person benefits more than most. But .... not having the time to race the car i'll throw some money in.

NS Dev - sod off, i'm not sponsoring you, you've still got my harnesses you where borrowing for a couple of weeks at the start of summer!

All put a quid to buy the Caterham. Then pick a member at random as the keeper.

Hi How about a fantacy locost championship. A bit like the football or F1.

Although if people want to throw some money at a locost racer i am shure there would be a que for it .

Or if there was a pot of say 4K you could be the main title sponsor of the locost championship as that space is vacant at the moment.

Cheers Matt

Although i do like the idea from Guinness
of russian roulette with the caparo. Although i think the first person to have a drive may get the first and last use of the car .

My group buy would be a small engineering company to make all those bits like manifolds etc. You could produce parts to sell on and offer owners/members HUGE discounts

run it like a cooperative!
