And Dinky Toy, of course.
Would you consider a kit car? Years ago, my friend/nemesis in SCCA autocross drove a Factory Five Cobra he built in his garage. It was a fantastic car like nothing you could buy.... I have the itch and maybe a project car with a few hundred horses, RWD and LSD will keep the itch at bay, we have some stunning mountain and coastal roads here that would keep me busy over weekends.

That isn't a bad idea. IMO. Seen a few of those.Would you consider a kit car? Years ago, my friend/nemesis in SCCA autocross drove a Factory Five Cobra he built in his garage. It was a fantastic car like nothing you could buy.

Ah, the Daytona... SWWWWEEEET!That isn't a bad idea. IMO. Seen a few of those.
One I would rather have is the Daytona coupe those same guys make. I've seen one of their Gen 2's which was fabulous. Was at a track, but I had no chance to drive it darn it.

What country is "here"? In England, Caterham has similar kits to build a replica Lotus 7, one of the funnest cars ever made.

I do myself. It is work cost and space but having the most suitable tyres on a car is the best way to optimise grip.I have a lot of friends who put winters on in the winter... seems like too much work, cost and space for spares

I totally agree and change winter/summer tyres twice a year by myself. Costs me about 45 minutes, so in my view investing 1 1/2 hours per year into safe driving is well spent.I do myself. It is work cost and space but having the most suitable tyres on a car is the best way to optimise grip.

No windows in the doors, just side curtains. The front of the top was held on with duct tape, which would sometimes give way at highway speeds++. Then the wind would blow up under the rag with disastrous consequences. The driver's seat was stuffed underneath with green parking tickets, an apple, and my purple heart medal. This was an upgrade from a '56 Porsche Speedster that cost me $650 plus $300 or so for repairs. I paid $275 for the Bugeye and sold it for $250.

Luxembourgish law actually requires tyres adapted to the weather conditions, so one can get fined for driving with the wrong tyres — and insurance companies, bless their magnanimous hearts —can refuse cover in those circumstances.
