Default Strathcarron!

Has anyone heard of the Strathcarron? I did a search on the web for the 5Exi R (I placed an order on the doorless 3 weeks ago and am trying to decide whether to have the doors instead since the car will be run daily as my only vehicle!) and came up with something called a Strathcarron.

At first I didnt realise it was a seperate car to the 5EXi!! Take a look at these websites and see what you think:

This new info definitley brings up allsorts of questions! It would be interesting to know whats happened and how the 5EXi came into being (I was under the impression the design was brand new ).

I'll be honest though, finding out about the Strathcarron hasnt made me less interested or lowered my views- if anything its increased them!

Oh, and before I finish this rather long post I thought I ought to mention that I had 2 other cars in mind (the Vindi Sprint and Fisher Fury) when I went to Donnington this year. I went to decide between them (both still excellent cars!) and came away having decided on this 3rd car that had never appealed to me (in photos only!) before. I havent even test drove it yet!

Roll on February pick up...
