Well to bring it back just slightly onto topic.. one thing that was noteworthy (other than the sausage rolls) was the Plus 6 activity. The site seems almost completely dedicated to its production, they were everywhere in various stages of build.
Seeing the new chassis and half built 6's next to the trads brought it home to me just how antiquated the Plus 4's look by comparison. Steel chassis, floorboards and cart spring suspension rubbing shoulders with modern bonded alloy chassis, link suspension and drivetrains that frankly looked very complex and well beyond the capability of most owner drivers to fix, assuming they may need it of course.
The 6 is no doubt a cracking car in so many respects but its not for me. Give me the simplicity of the trad build with all its shortfalls any day but I can't help think that its days are numbered. It looked so out of place next to the 6's and I suspect they won't be able to live in harmony, too many opposing techniques and materials for the future of MMC I reckon.
Only time will tell but I'm glad I bought my trad while I could.
