    Ok, ok ......... enough of these 'bucket list' type projects.
    By the way, do we need a car licence, a pilot's licence or an astronaut's licence ............... your not 007 are you?

    The car is a KTM X-Bow R.

    It has the Audi 2ltr turbo engine from the TTS, which is tuned to 300bhp. Pretty much the entire car is constructed from carbon fibre so weighs relatively little, until that is, the fat fu@k that is me is wedged into it.

    It's a great little track car and very forgiving if you are a clumsy and generally talentless driver, like me.

    yeah itss from KTM the bike makrs i believe.

    Negatives are if you dont wear a crash helmet your face gets sandblasted any time you go over 40mph !!!

    Nice car but needs a decent screen. ive seen lots of tests and track days on them and they certainly shift. was one of the fastest round the top gear circuit i believe. Just not to practical for diving up the M6 behind a juggernaught :grin:

    Lovely little car though <ok>

    They do now make a GT version with a screen, it looks bit odd to be honest. Anyway screens are for wimps, although you do need to wear a helmet, bugs rather hurt above 40mph.
