They dont set the world alight on any tracks round here but that could be down to the drivers.
Even the twin bike engined car below is nothing special round a track, in fact its not as quick as a caterham. Just me standing back and observing, I might get a drive of one and fall in love with the concept. There is certainly some fantastic engineering going into some of these cars and thats the bit that impresses me the most.

Edit. I will go out on a limb here and say the best 7 type car I have been in and driven is a mates 1600 ford kent engined westy with a pair of 40`s and a cam. Not the fastest that prize went to the rover powered westy belonging to another friend. The haynes will have a lot to live up to round here.
