Unpractical Cars For 30K

Wimp.

I voted for caterham, as you'd get a really nice one for that money - but could easily have voted for the atom or westie - but we need to get the thumbscrews out and sort out who voted for the boxter I feel...

Was worried about buffeting etc, but general refinement(!) very good, but then I had a Westfield for many years.

Trackdays, runs and general fun are all in the plan. Practicality is fine as long as you don't have any friends!

I'm on A038s at the moment, so best avoiding puddles.

And lamposts this time.

Be great to bring it on a run - then us middle-aged adolescents can gawp at it.

 

 

And drool at it when it zooms past like we're standling still!

Avoiding lamposts is probably a good plan!

 

They certainly turn heads like nothing else...

Well seeing as my 111R is my practical car, or at least this is what I've convinced my SO it is - the unpractical choice would have to be the 340R.

 

Got first proper look at one at Lotus Hethel open day a couple of years back, agree that there is simply nothing else like it, single bloody minded purist design.

 

Now just need to win lottery tonight and extend garage!

You mean a Westfield XTR2 or XTR4 (2 = bike engine, 4 = VAG engine).

 

My mate's bringing Westfield's own XTR4 along to the Seloc day aty Bedford on 31st May.

No question for me, got to be the Noble, all that horsepower for 30k and it corners like a french train. The naturl progression in my mind, and now with the GTC top down hooning with ooodles of power yeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaa

[Bramble111s]

there's a top off Noble??!??!

 

pic please!

[Scott_Mac]

Its ugly.

 

Built from lego like the rest of them too....

 

Have a look on their webby, called the GTC i think.

[Kris H]

I think I might have put a photo of one in the gallery from the motorshow. Arse build quality IMO if it's the one that I'm thinking of.

[JohnnyM]

the thing with nobles is the 1994 Mondeo rear light cluster

 

I would say a new Ariel Atom though - purely to experience driving at three figure speeds on what is basically a climbing frame.... LOL
