But something about the cars on decorides does for me. So much nicer than the Excaliber, the Le-Sayde, etc.
Really ?
So you can't go to work / shopping / sprints / hillclimbs / evening blats, in a GTM Libra or a Rossa K3 or even a Quantum H4 ?
I know these aren't replicas, but buying any sort of replica is a bit sad anyway.
Inicdentally, my first ever kit car was recently sold on ebay. I last saw it 14 years ago and it doesn't look much better now - looks a lot worse actually. Anyway, before clicking the link, remember that I drove this car every single day that I owned it. Sunny / cloudy / raining / snowing. Night / Day /. Long Distance / Local trips.
If you're into kit cars, you just get on with it. Seriously, the weather is terrible here right now, but do you think for a minute that I wouldn't take the Sylva (137bhp / 500kg / 10,500rpm) if I needed to nip to the shops ? Any excuse at all to scream up and down the gears and then put it away in its shed again.
You can, but it isn't necessarily the practicalities, it is the whole styling thing.
Some of them look OK, but they don't look "Amazing". I remember when I first saw the first quantum when the design/kit was reviewed in a kit car mag, something seemed wrong with it.
