Dathtrap??
Surely that depends on how well it gets completed.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards

That sub thing is interesting! Why did they put the engine next to the driver? Kept the wheelbase short, but made it sort of bloated in the
middle?

They will be taking it down because of the Lotus-Caterham-cobra-dax-locost nonsense in the title.
They do have a kitcar section, but he's obviously not bright enough to have found it.

If you are using bike tyres in the front they will be forced to work in a way they are not designed for......unless you have leaning suspension setup

Looks like fun to me. A seven inspired single seat BEC three wheeler. I'd want fairly wide front wishbones but otherwise as mental as any kit
car.

Absolutely correct, but I'd still like to take that and put a Guzzi V twin up front in 3 wheeled morgan style, and proper tyres too......

edit: Proper tyres at the front and a roll cage at the back would be wise.

Why a deathtrap?
Home built one-offs are often far better than some kits available in my experience. Roll bar and tyres aside which are an easy fix, i would much
rather drive that than a robin hood i saw advertised recently made from what appears to nothing more than aluminium sheet, aluminium angle and rivets.
