I'm told the 3 wheeler will be good for 120mph assuming I've got the bottle to go that fast once the new engine is in! Not with a E93A it won't. To get something of that shape to 120 mph is going to require something in the region of 150 bhp, and you won't get that from a E93A no matter how much you spend! But in terms of smiles per mile, it'll be a winner.

Quite agree, thought it was some what optimistic, I think he was talking about his racer but I'll clarify when I see him.
Frankly as sold to me it was the most frightening machine I've ever driven but you could tell if it was sorted it would be great fun, the main problem being the brakes, with servo it turned instant left or right depending on which front wheel was gripped first, if you disconnected the servo it took forever to slow down.
Hopefully the new car wont suffer from any problems!

Congratulations!!
19" Aeromax wheels, yes they are expensive, but they look "right" and as others have said they don't seem to degrade the ride.
As far as colour is concerned, be bold, both body and leather. Heated seats are essential and I'd have A/C. It seems nuts in an open car, but cool feet and hood up, a powerful demisting effect with full heat and full A/C.
At 6000 miles run since December last year it is a car for all seasons. All I've done is washed and polished her, added fuel, checked fluids and replaced the front pads at 18,000 miles.
The new Plus 8 is, in the opinion of many, the Mog they would have if they could afford it.....
At the Moth event yesterday at Woburn I met 2 Rover engined Plus 8 owners who intend to move to the new Plus 8....!

"Opinion of many", or your opinion??? Amazingly arrogant statement in MY opinion.
