Hi,

Having sold my Caterham I am now looking for a new toy, and thinking of trying a Radical, it would be used just for track days, It would be for myself and my son to use and we are both about 5'11" and 86kg would we fit in one? also any help with runing costs,SR3 or SR4,and what would I have to pay to get a good one? I have put my nane down with Radical for a trial day with no luck.

Thanks John.

Right thing to do.

You're not far off my son and I ............. tall and not FOBs ......... we've got an SR4 and we fit OK.

Feel free to ping me an email and I'll give you my number so you can ring me and hear about our experiences of running a Rad; true experiences and the good news is brilliant ......... should have done it at least a decade ago.

Hi,

You will fit into an SR4 with no problem. I am 6ft2 and easily fit in to it. I weigh 80kg, my Dad is the same height but nearer 100kg and has no problem with space either. An SR3 is bigger again so that too will not be a problem.


Im trying to get him to sell the car (SR4 1400), so if your interested, I could send you a spec list.

Regards

Josh

I reckon Darcy will be pleased you've not public-domained his inside leg measurement .............. one of the many pleasures of being the Dad part of a Father & Son Team.

Are you @ Snet on Sunday?

I see I'm selling sofas at the moment, what's next >>>>>>>>>>

Sadly not.

One combe event and then the Birkett at Silverstone will be it for us.

John, good to talk tonight and hope to show you around my car, maybe even share a trackday so you can see for real what the Rad thing is all about
