If you where not building a roadster what would it be?
I was very tempted on a mev tR1ke when I seen the prototype witch is now the demonstrator but when I asked about expected kit and build costs Thay where some what inflated to 2x what Thay are now.
Probably have it finished and on the road by now and been a trike it would only need a msva

If money allowed (which it clearly doesn't) I'd love to have started something more racey, such as a GT40 build, or more practically a Spire GTR.

Thought I'd share too! The pond's only 2 months old, use to be a flower bed but nothing grew due to the overhanging bush!

If I wasn't building a Roadster, then it would probably be either a Sylva Riot, or a GKD Legend. If I had unlimited money, a GT40 replica.

If it had to be a production car, a bonkers Mini

No fish ponds here - takes up valuable garage floor space

Nice conversion job, just keep any falling junk out of the pond.


@Will...

Mix of Orf, Common Goldfish, Ghost Carp, Grass Carp, Tench, ... Nothing too exotic.

I had a this guy from ~2" until he died sudenly last summer. The photo was taken 3 years earlier so he had grown a fair bit since..



2010 we had fry in the pond and about 6-7 of them survived which is nice...
