Or! CT60 FOX is available (C-T-GO) :P

Plate idea??

Great spot, Jayneyyyy

 

I know it's shown on a Fabia, but they don't have a Citigo option

They don't have many options to be honest.

Shame you can't put privates on Q cars though hey.

(also half of the point of making it look inconspicuous was to have your own Q car, right?)

To be honest it's hardly going to go on the road.

Plus it will be trailered to events where I'll just run a showplate.

 

So it doesn't bother me.

I suspected a Q plate IF I decided to road register it from soon after I had the idea back in July 2012.

Gas Turbine, please don't put more ideas in to Richards head   

 

Would be funny to do, although realistically you'd want the turbine powering a generator to produce electric for some big in wheel electric motors.

Any chance of this being ready by 3rd August?  

 

Got everything crossed

Hoping a darn side earlier Bryan.

 

All the fabrication work is done, shell is just finishing prep in the next couple of days...

 

Then it's a case of putting it all back together, getting the wiring and sensors talking to each other before finding out what kind of power it's going to make!

 

 

 

Although I could always take you out for a "spin" in something else.

Am I too late to order a 'taxi' for the 3rd of August?

I'm sure a minibus can be organised.....

No............I can give you a lift over, Jake  

 

 

Oh...........you meant in the Citigogo  :(

I think a trip in the Citigogo should be a raffle prize

 

I'd sell the tickets on the day if Richard agreed

I hope BossFox keeps it longer than it's taken to build, especially with his track record.

Me too.

I think he could name his price & still have people fight over taking it off him

I very much doubt that.

I'm sure that the build cost would put this out of most people's reach - we can only guess and I'm sure Richard would never tell.

To be fair people really don't want to know... I don't even want to know!

If I was daft enough to sell it the actual value would be a fraction of the build cost.

I'd probably get more breaking the damn thing because there is a fair old value in parts there.

 

But hey.

Here we are.  It's almost done, mostly paid for and it's too late to stop now.

It's more about the fun of it than the cost - hopefully won't be too much longer.

Cost isn't going to compare to the amount of fun BossFox is going to have in this. There is no price on enjoyment.

With a build like this theres no need for a discussion about cost, just marvel in BossFox's genius/madness and know that youll never see another one done again

In car related news it's in the paint shop and the "Sunset" rear three windows are there too.

So about a week or so probably while they prepare and paint the shell, leaving it nicely finished and ready for the final push...

So will be quiet on the Citigo front for a week or two.

So much respect for you Richard this is such a crackers project and the car is just going to be plain mental.

I wish I had the funds and understanding from the other half to do something this committed, even if I had the money getting involved in something like this would almost certainly end my marriage haha

Wanted to ask whats planned for the Yeti TSi?

What colour will the Citigogo be then?

 

I vote Brisky lime green

There is a thread about my Yetis in the project section for that model on here.

Starts with the two red ones and the Tsi arrives around page 6.

It's having a K04 conversion to 320bhp, plus stripping some weight out and sorting the suspension, brakes etc...

Early days though.  Not much has happened to it yet, so not such an interesting read yet...

 

Should be done in about two months everything going to plan as it's mostly bolt on stuff.

Rather easier to start with a vehicle that has 4x4 already...

Silver, as it was bought as an ex-demo from Preston Motors.

I like silver, it's good for blending in.

 

It's just getting tidied up and all the fabrication painted to match the rest of the shell.

And, of course, lime green hardly fits with the "OEM Plus" philosophy.
