Greetings; and Few Questions
Re: Greetings; and Few Questions
Oh, I'm not knocking them. Great to see other options.
3 seater with central driver, and Scooby engine looks hilarious.
My point was purely that they still don't work if you're germaphobic!

Re: Greetings; and Few Questions
I don’t think anything works if you’re a serious germaphobe. It’s a difficult way of life. I think there has to be limits what you should/shouldn’t be touching etc
Re: Greetings; and Few Questions
Thanks for the suggestion; but, no. It is either A4 or bust! :-)
True!
You're right. However, I'm not a serious germaphobe! I shake hands with others when I have to; touch public surfaces if needed; even touch door handles if I didn't have a napkin! Of course, having a relationship with a woman changes everything! So, yeah, I'm able to handle it; even appear and behave perfectly normal to anyone who doesn't know my quirks! Just a clean-freak as much as normal-living allows.
So, thanks again everyone; highly appreciate everyone's feedback, suggestions and opinions. The ingress/egress problem, as applicable to my specific situation, seems solvable. I'm gonna make a run for it. Still, need to find a good Samaritan A4 owner to give me a shotgun drive and let me drive at least 10 mins. Will talk to TMI (the US builder) and possibly a dealer who could help.

Re: Greetings; and Few Questions
hopefully a dealer may be able to assist in a test drive. Or even possibly the factory themselves would help bag a customer I’d have imagined. All the best, good luck and drive safe

Re: Greetings; and Few Questions
Thanks man; appreciate it. Will reach out to anyone and everyone who could help. It would be extremely exciting if I can realize my plan of having an A4 and a Seven 420R! Could take a few years. But, I need to get a feel for them before I can get the deposits in. Current gen Civic Type R could run for another 3 years; the powertrain production could stop after that aside from the number of orders placed by Ariel/TMI. Acura Integra uses Type R's powertrain; so, that would extend the life bit longer.
I'll post up here, of course. I'll have a lot more questions along the way. cheers.

Re: Greetings; and Few Questions
The tape on the chassis is called either "Helicopter Tape" or "Bike Tape", and is used on the leading edges of the Helicopter Blades, and vulnerable parts of Mountain Bikes etc.
I bought some years ago, and it's easy to remove & reapply if you think it's starting to look scratched or scruffy, and it can also be applied to the suspension & steering rods, to prevent stone chips.
Just Google it for suppliers, like these ones available from Amazon.
