Well I am hopefully persuading my dad and brother to go in with me on a track toy. As of recently my dad has been selling a lot of stuff including his tourer caravan which he kept in a decent size garage at the back of his house (he is now getting a static at least it's another caravan off the road ). So he is left with an empty decent size garage, now I know he has wanted to build a kit car but really cant see him undertaking it.
So after a day out at Oulton park, in Chris's monstrous Skyline, I also got taken out in a MX5 which I was quite impressed by, which I thought at the time this would be a good beginner level track day car. Now I hear about my dad selling up and kit car, and as soon as I do I am saying track car .
So I had a quick look on autotrader and you can get a good first gen mx5 for £1500 before haggle, so all I have to do is persuade them between 3 of us it's not going to be mega money. I thought at first full service, belts fluid etc, rip out everything fit rollcage, harness and a good geo setup. Set up electric fans on switch to allow to keep on after shut. Also everything we rip out can be sold on ebay to pull money back. So keep your fingers crossed for me peeps, I think this is a better idea for my dad as at least he will get to enjoy it rather than swearing at parts in a garage for many years to come.
Thanks for reading.
