I dont really speak locost... what does that mean? Is it a good thing? (Like should I drop everything and go buy this thing for the cost of 4 cases of beer?)
In reply to Robbie:
Means someone followed the "plans" to make a cheap 7 ish replica.
Google locost book build or locost forums
Please don't pay him in cash, rather, pay him with a GRM 10 year subscription.
Seems he could be good to have around here.
In reply to Indy-Guy:
I'm already planning my trip to Chicago. Thinking it'll fit in my short bed with the tailgate down.
I'm betting you could strap it in your truck no problem. Try to get the front A-Arms from him, they are usually home built but used Miata uprights. They would be nice to have as they generally fit the frame.
In reply to patgizz:
Yeah but (and I say this with the up most respect) you're a cheap ass. Consider that a compliment coming from me.
ok guys. I'll contact the seller today. I have no way to build this thing within the next 36 months (maybe a stretch but not likely) so if anyone wants me to buy it for them I will.
Note, I don't have a great free way to transport this thing unless it fits in the bed of a super cab f-150 - or, come to think of it - if it fits inside the honda odyssey with all the seats out.
pm me if you would like me to go buy it for you. And I'll try to get the seller to join the forum.

It's a homebuilt copy (what looks like a loose copy in this particular case) of a Lotus/Caterham 7. Price is nothing amazing, what we have here is just a bunch of box tubing with who knows what quality of welding holding it together, that some other guy beat up off road for a while.
EDIT: It also seems to lack a title, which is one of the more difficult parts of building one.
In reply to BrokenYugo:
Sounds like you not only described most of my ex's but most of my vehicles also.
In reply to Stampie:
So, your exes were cheap copies of questionable quality that some other guy beat up off rode for a while?

Stampie's out. I looked this morning, it is probably a better go cart in current state. Could be a good start to a locost build. Would easily fit in the bed of a pickup. Let me know if you want me to pick it up for you. Pm me asap if you want it. I can send more pics too.
