OK, Stop now. Proud new owner!

Have to scream this from the rooftops!
Having recently sold my Striker which I had intended to change to bike power, I have been pulling my hair out as to what to replace it with (but it has to be BEC, track focussed and ideally road registered).
The shortlist was
1) a not quite finished GSXR Riot, stonking spec but not built for IVA,
2) a megabusa built for the track but with MOT
3) a cheap Radical

Fantastic problem to have, but my logic was thus, see what you think..

1) Love the Riot but SVA was such a pain, I hated it and sooooo want to avoid IVA if possible, so riot was out.
2) Decided that Westfields are simply not as good as anything designed by JP, even when they are a bargain
3) These things are fast but not as much fun, kinda like a Porsche on the road, I'd rather drive a classic Mini at 100% than a Porsche at 30%, and expensive if they go bang!

So as of tomorrow, all going well, I hope to be the proud owner of this Phoenix

Well done, looks like a great car (apart from the dodgy colour ;))

Picked up the car today, it is most excellent!
Colour actually works much better than I had thought, actually thought I would never be able to be seen in it w/o lid on!
