sprint r
dilley - 18/4/07 at 08:05 PM

After a dissapointing day with the ultima I thought I would treat myself to a sprint r.

Cracking bit of kit,have to wait 8 weeks though

Nice to meet Chris Mason while I was down at Martins.

Hi Dilley

Good luck with the new venture that sprint r is a sweat looking car and should be a hoot to drive.

What colour you going for then??????

also dont forget to come back to me on what we spoke about today definately interested mate.

Good luck

Sean

Changed your mind again then?! Anyway, how am I supposed to go out in it with just 1 seat?


OX - 18/4/07 at 09:49 PM

i fancy a sprint r but i wanted it with a zx12 or busa engine but when i spoke to martin whilst he was making my silencer he said the engines wouldnt fit so i gave up the idea. iv got a m8 who wants to buy my car off me but he cant decide which car to sell ,his subaru or golf 32 but either way he'll have to wait untill after the track day so that should give me some time to look for another kit

Besides, Ultimas are big smelly expensive cars, which have silly windows and would cost a fortune for new tyres and eat more fuel than you'd probably believe.
And you'll get even more looks at the fuel pumps in the Sprint R, just won't have that buxom blonde on your arm.

I think you'd find that most women would actually not be that keen in being ferried around in an Ultima regardless of how the bloke feels about it, difficult to get into, noisy, brutish, weird looking and embarrassing thing, would probably be their view.

Then again the sprint isn't much better but at least she doesn't have to be seen in it. Most seem to prefer a (non rust bucket) classic car.

There is a write up in the total kit car mag for the sprint r.

Does it say good things about it if anyone has read it??????

Has one gone through the SVA test yet or am i trailing behind at the back as usual

No,a car has not gone through sva yet,the cars that have been sold so far have been track cars,they have one in build at the moment that is to be the 1st car to go through sva,speaking to them yesterday,there will be 2 cars on track at kit car live at brands this year,looking forward to seeing that,although passenger rides could prove a little difficult

A very good write up in the magazine Sean,are you being tempted.All positive,and the guy who wrote the report starts by saying he's not keen on bike engine cars,so thats another convert.
