Did anybody see Top Gear? Finally the Pagani Zonda was beaten by .4 seconds by some West Brothers car build in a shed. I feel for The Stig pulling over 1G round the bends in a car made in a shed really :)

Still, an excellent car - except it has no windscreen (which could be a problem).

Its probably only just road legal :)

Mainly because its a Lotus underneath and its got a number plate and mudguards. I think thats all you need to be road legal... oh, and lights of course :)

Xero, your on about the Atom, nah its not that one.....................

The car in question is a Westfield and the main problem with westfields is that its very hard to insure one................ Westfields have always been increadibly light and thats why its soooooooooooo quick, its got very good power to weight ratio lol..................... That car only has a 1.3 litre motocycle engine in and it thrashes the Zonda........... Don't forget the Zonda went around in the dry and the Westfield went around in the wet and it still beat the Zonda. The westfields got a massive rear wing (proper wing too, not a rear spoiler lol), thats why it corners sooo quick and the fact that its very light too has something to do with it...............

But that Westfield you need a Helmet and its got no wind screen lol, the cockpit is as well equiped as a proper race car (ie no radio, no air con or heating system, nothing at all lol)......

It's soooooooooo affordable too, it cost as much as an Elise lol, it will make one hell of a track car lol..................

Yeah I can imagine insuring one would be difficult. The only thing in your advanctage is a low CC, but everything else is gonna pump the bill up by quite a few 0's
