Thinking about buying a Radical

[Iaing01]

Hi folks, i currently own a Noble M400 but have been considering buying a sr3/4 with the intention of using it as a weekend only & (possibly) trackday car.

I know nothing about these cars so have no idea what I should be going for, however I will be looking for a road legal version.

So how much do these cars cost to run per year? Are parts redily available? How often do the engines require to be "refreshed" and at what sort of cost?

Please enlighten me!

Thanks in advnace

The Radicals are race/track cars that can be made technically road legal. Along with all race cars, the require almost constant maintenance and at least visual checking after each use.

There is no way I could ever drive mine on the road, ignoring the outright performance and lack of any practicality, the first pot hole would probably break something and it could not get in and out of my driveway and as for climbing over a speed bump...

Having given the obvious negatives, lets see if anyone actually does drive one on the road who could give a more definitive answer and possible prove me wrong?

I've had my eye on that for a while although to be honest after reading that thread it has put me off a bit.
