Newbie from Worthing - need a new project

[jim73w]

Hi all,

I am new to these forums, having been admiring the Sonic 7 at Stoneleigh recently, and been re reading press coverage.

I have recently sold my Nova kit car


and am thinking about the next project.

The misses (Sarah) spotted Nigel and his striking blue and white Sonic, and I was able ot have a chat to him about the build at the Nova Club stand - which got us thinking !

I am VW through and through, so any non beetle based kit car will be a new challenge to me, but I do fancy something more modern to drive and enjoy - even the odd track day as a Goodwood GRRC member.

My debate at present is:

*whether the Somic has enough of the wow factor after the Nova.
*whether I can handle the new fangled engine etc
*whether to go aero screen or full screen - I would like to use without a helmet, and have some protection
*roof options - I know a hard top is available though haven't seen one on in the flesh - is a soft top possible?

Any input appreciated, hope to be decision making after Newark (and our kitchen refit!)

All the best,

Jim
