1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

our FSAE car is going to be on display this year, you should go check it out if you're going. I would've liked to go (getting in free rocks) but BDO on Friday and a mate's stag do on Sat will probably sort me out for the weekend

Yes but when your at the top of the class thats how much it costs to go fast and stay on top I have heard that its 7 figures and counting.One thing about that car that it has over others that it has had extensive input from a ex-F1 aero guy and this is one of the reasons why the car is so quick.But in saying this the money is no different from what
Heat Treatments put into there GTR and look what performance they put up.

dont forget that car was pretty much written off a while ago and the rebuild was rather extensive to say the least....

it is also the fastest TVR of its kind in the world....
