Well after selling my beloved Mk Fireblade I will be back on the scene with a replacement kitcar :)
Having given it a lot of thought I will be sticking with a BEC.. Big thanks to Steve for sending me a link or two on cars up for sale.. Time will tell if this car is for me. Never seen one up front before and I wont be seeing this one until the day it is delivered to my home.
Fingers crossed it will be in my hands a week on Monday.. :) :)
What's it going to be? Or do we have to trawl through FHOs posts for clues? :o
Aw, that's just cruel. All us BKCC members jumping up and down wanting to know. Some how I expect you are gonna tell us with pictures?
Pictures and spec will follow once its in my hands.
And pictures will be prior to any thing being powder coated in a selection of colours hahahaha...
It was a factory build and used as there demo car so hopefully a little extra care may have been taken in the build :)
You can trawl thru FHO's post but nothing will be found hehehehe..

Fair play for staying with a BEC mate. Is it a quick one?
Wont know until I have driven yet!! Should be in-line with my old Mk, may be a little quicker..
I know it wont be to every ones liking but that's to be expected :) Not even 100% sure if I do hahaha..
The plot thickens!!!!

Hmmm, haven't seen it, driven it......... do you know what it is? Or have you just bought a lucky bag ;D
Oh yes, Ive done all the things you should not do!! Was the same with the Mk Indy when I got that.. :)
Know what you mean, did that when I bought the tranny. Had it 2 years now and no problem as yet. Got nearly £500 back selling the seats and wheelchair lift and then it turned out to be free road tax. ;D ;D

:(
The twists and turns of this saga are incredible :o :o
Yeah I know, what a tease :P :P
Oh yes, I can second that one hehe.. Some cars come with history. This one has (or had) very little but with the help from FHO I'm starting to gather a little of the past history now and its interesting to say the least :)
I can't wait for the 'big reveal' Steve!!! :o :o :D :D 8) 8)
Not another 'Landy' is it? ;D
Defo a kit-car :)
So which kit car do we know that's been up for sale recently that's factory built, used as a demo, a BEC, with an interesting history that is known by FHO, and presumably too far away to see/test drive and will showcase the art of multi colour powder coating......hmmmmmm ::)
Curiouser and curiouser :P :P
This is not easy!! :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X
Surely the only car you would dare to buy sight unseen would be Asbo 2?

Except Asbo 2 is still for sale....... And it's yellow so that won't float FHOs boat...
But where is the WR4 these days?

Not 100% sure but I think it failed to progress due to lack of funding maybe? I seem to recall reading something about it being shelved anyway.

But one escaped and I believe is out there somewhere :)
Oh I see what you mean Ian. Well it could be anywhere I guess but we never seem to encounter it do we. It will no doubt surface one day as one of those weird 'barn finds' that have never seen a barn in their lives!! ;D
But I do love YELLOW cars :) After all my old Mk was yellow... I did think about ASBO-2..... Garage is not big enough to house the spare 2 sets of wheels!!!hahaha
Same problem here mate, I have to keep them elsewhere!
Interesting car....back on ebay. This isn't the one you've bought, is it?? :o

Solved the riddle 8) This is an awesome BEC, and a truly scary drive :o
This is the car, isn't it? Fits all the clues:

Forget a bike engine, how about an over-clocked 60 volt mobility scooter 8) Not quite as exciting as a BEC but what a laugh!! Not sure it fits the bill though :D

I think FHO might have given away a clue as to the new car. I won't say what but he may have slipped up on another well know motoring forum ;D ;D
Do I win a prize, or do I just look like an FHO stalker ??? ???
May be we have time for a quick poll before its arrives :) Due some time this morning :)
Hi Steve, just found your post after a while away and I too am looking forward to the big reveal! As long as you keep the benneton theme it'll be fine 😉 After all, that was the trademark 🙂.
Still missing my old jalopy, and often wonder what Chris did with it .....

Ok, having ruled out ASBO2 and the WR 4, slightly confused by the 24 hrs needed to deliver, which suggests it's coming from Europe or Ireland..... but that could be a double bluff.....I think I know which one it is but I don't want to ruin your fun....as Michael Barrimore used to say.........It'll be aww-white??
Or is this it? Not sure how FHO knows about it though, unless it' s the 'mirror image' he used to seeing :o

Ok, ok Jmad, so I may have given a very obscure hint (although it was not intended as a hint) on PH!! Well worked out you sleuth!!! (seriously, that was clever mate, no one else has even spotted it!! - I could have been referring to any number of mates buying a car though so you were shooting in the dark a wee bit there, but... you scored a bullseye dude!)
