Right guys and gals, havent posted for a while, so time for a little crash update,

Car was officially written off 2 weeks ago, that was a shocker

Now just sitting back and waiting for my insurers to pull the finger out and make me an offer for the car, and spending many a late night scouring pistonheads

Shoomer funny you should mention a 340R, as thats what i am now after

After a long talk with meatball, ive decided a 340R with super charged Honda engine is the way im going to go, so anybody selling up???

340R with a honda lump

Maybe i am being a grumpy old man but the 340r is becoming increasingly a rare car especially unhondafied ones. So it is for sure a future classic so if you got one i would be tempted to stay with the K series engine as it might be worth a packet in the future.

if you want silly performance/zero practicalities then don't discount the caterhams yes they are mostly k-series but they are easy to fix should it go pop due to the access to the engine is alot better and they have a boot.

If you want truely silly performance then don't forget the hoyabusa is for sale and that is just silly fast
