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!!!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

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

one stage further..
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?
RobinHood 2B 2.0i pinto, Keihin 38mm Carbs, lightened flywheel, O'Mori remote filter kit, 10 row oil cooler. Modified head, 10.2cr, special
valves FR22 cam, 4- 1 header.

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
