Does anyone have any firsthand knowledge about the Goblin built by DF Kit Cars. Website is dfkitcars.com. Uses Ecotech engine from Chevy Cobalt donor. Looks interesting. A poor mans Aerial Atom.

Initial development was detailed in a build thread here on the GRM forum. I wish I could remember the guy's screen name...
I think it was adoyle88, just do a search for Goblin and you should be able to find it
Have you already looked through the DF Goblin forum?

There are quite a few build logs already underway, so I'm sure there are a number of people there who can answer your questions.
Haven’t read through forum but will. Thanks
While I haven't driven one myself I know the guys who build them and have watched them from the beginning. A couple were on a Locost drive we did this past spring in the Ozarks and they worked well.
Since you can no longer register them in Texas we don't see them around

Why and/or how has Texas changed the registration requirements?

In reply to Cooter :
Wow, them Texans got a crab grass problem. When a bunch of bureaucrats can make a major change like that to vehicle licensing without any due process, something is seriously berkeleyed up. I'm truly surprised it didn't start in California...
We are working on this now and it's basically only one bureaucrat that's causing the guff. Why and how he can get away with it I don't know. There's a big dune buggy and kit car rally on the Capitol steps this weekend to try to draw some attention to it to the legislators.
It's not just kit cars tho. Anything that is significantly modified is banned.
In reply to carguy123 :
Did Speed Buggy kill his dog or something? It was Frank wasn't it? Shifty swarthy bastard.
That Texas ban is crazy. Up here you can license a side x side or four wheeler for the street.
Up until the ban so could we. There's a big demonstration on the Capital steps on Thursday with people coming from many other states with their street legal buggies, etc.
