Good coverage on the topic

So far the reviews trashing this efort basically complain it isn't another book on the Locost Seven, or that the budget will easily be exceeded. I have to agree more books about the Lowcost are probably a better idea for this author, with all the stuff out there on that car that he isn't getting paid for, he should probably think up another book for a series. I don't intend to build this buggy, though the kids pictured using it seem happy enough. Also some prospective L7 buyers might want to try somethign a little less challenging to see if their aspirations are for real. Still I have seen these kinds of thing, and it forms a basis for a variety of projects. Buyer beware it isn't a Baha racer. On cost, it doesn't seem to have bothered the carpers that you can't built the L7 for 250 either. And unless you have a slew of machinery you had better plan on your costs escalating there too. I suggest anyone considering this book give thought to what it is actually about, and take the budget with the grain of salt required, it's just a promise that this is scratch build coverage, in some people's hands.
