No helmet what a c*ck very bad example, legal I know but insane all the same.
 
Great fun, but what an incredible set of weird sounds it made!
 
I like the soundtrack. Triples have an off-beat engine note to start with, and you can't beat a bit of wastegate chatter from a big turbo. I wonder what that engine would be like in a Fiesta? Top fun is my guess.. now where do I sign?

Cheers,

Real test as a road car would be on the M25 during rush hour. :eek: These "specials" are great fun on the track but you would be taking your life in your hands with many of Britain's drivers on our overcrowded roads surely? :crazy: It would probably register as a large bump in the road for a tired Actros Trailer driver with a full load on board as he went over the top of it?:fail
 
This or the BAC mono. Both are great piece of design and a great drivers car.

The only time I would drive it on the road is to and from a local trackday.

I used to have a Caterham, and seating in slowing moving multilane with artic's wheel at the eye level is match scarier that spinning out on track.
 
I agree. Taking my Dutton out on the motorway was a deeply unnerving experience in traffic (but great on 'normal' roads!)
